Snack Attack: Almond Berry Banana Yogurt Smoothie
Strawberries and blueberries are in season now, so stock up and use them to make this delicious yogurt smoothie. The fruit adds natural sweetness, and the Greek yogurt makes it rich and creamy.

Reality Check: Gwyneth Paltrow's Detox Diet
There are many ways to usher in the New Year. After a couple weeks of nonstop holiday celebration replete with rich foods and plenty of drink, many folks decide that the best way to begin anew is with a detox cleanse.

Low Fat Banana Bread with Chocolate, Cherries and Walnuts
