Ingredients You’ll Need
- berries – you’ll need a mixture of frozen strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, but feel free to use whatever variety of berries you’d like. Blackberries make a great addition as well.
- banana – I like to use one frozen banana because it really gives this smoothie that creamy milkshake texture, just make sure the banana is nice and ripe for the most natural sweetness.
- greek yogurt – I used plain yogurt for a boost of protein and creaminess, but feel free to to use flavored yogurt such as vanilla Greek yogurt for even more flavor or dairy-free yogurt.
- almond milk – this thins out the consistency to make this smoothie deliciously drinkable. Any type of non-dairy milk or regular milk will work in this. You could also substitute the unsweetened almond milk with apple juice, orange juice or other fruit juice for a sweeter smoothie!
How to Make Mixed Berry Smoothie
- Add to blender. Add the frozen or fresh berries, ripe banana, Greek yogurt and almond milk to a high-powered blender or food processor. You could also add a little bit of honey or maple syrup for a sweeter smoothie.
- Blend ingredients. Blend everything until you get a creamy, smooth consistency. Feel free to add more milk if you prefer a thinner smoothie. Taste and adjust any ingredients as-needed for more flavor.
- Serve and enjoy. Pour into glasses or mason jars, top with extra berries or chia seeds. Enjoy this healthy smoothie right away or store in the fridge for later!
No need to add ice to this delicious smoothie as the frozen mixed berries will give you that cold, thick and refreshing consistency!
Tips and Variations
- For a thicker smoothie: Use a frozen banana instead of a fresh banana for a thicker smoothie or you could even add in a handful of ice cubes to thicken. Frozen cauliflower also makes a great addition for an extra boost of nutrition and hidden vegetables!
- Add protein powder: Boost the protein content even more by adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder such as whey protein powder or plant-based protein powder. A tablespoon of peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower seed butter or other nut butter also make delicious options.
- Sweeten naturally: The banana and trio of berries act as a natural sweetener, but if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, feel free to add in a little honey or maple syrup.
- Vegan option: Make a vegan smoothie by using plant-based yogurt and plant-based milk or soy milk for a dairy-free version. I love this smoothie with coconut milk or coconut water!
- Boost with greens: Throw in a handful of spinach or kale for a boost of nutrition. The sweetness of the berries masks the taste and this is a great way to get those healthy greens in for your kids!
- Make it creamy: Instead of a banana, you could use half of an avocado or extra frozen berries for a thicker, creamy texture. The plain Greek yogurt helps make this smoothie nice and creamy as well.
- Optional mix-ins: Try adding in some chia seeds, hemp seeds or a teaspoon of ground flaxseed for added nutrition. A sprig of mint is also a pretty addition!
