Add yogurt, frozen berries, prunes, chia seeds, vanilla extract (if using) and spirulina powder to the jar of a blender. Pulse on low until everything begins to come together. Remove the lid and scrape down the sides of the jar with a silicone spatula. Return the lid to the blender jar and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until a smooth, creamy texture is achieved. If necessary, scrape down the sides of the jar again, and pulse until smooth.
