By Brett Moore, About.com

Here's a great way to start your day or just as a healthy snack when you need a boost. Blueberries and nutritional yeast give you a good dose of B12 vitamins, the banana provides potassium, flaxseed for omega-3, soy milk and yogurt for protein, and a touch of honey to balance the sweetness.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 cup soy milk (or skim milk)
  • 1/2 cup fat-free yogurt (or vegan equivalent)
