Mixed Berry Power Smoothie
This recipe yields a vibrant, nutrient-dense smoothie perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
-
1 cup frozen mixed berries: Use a blend of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
-
1/2 cup strawberries: Fresh or frozen (as shown in the image).
-
1/2 cup Greek yogurt: Provides a creamy texture and protein.
-
1/2 cup liquid base: You can use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut water.
-
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional): Adjust sweetness to your preference.
-
Ice cubes (optional): Add a few if you prefer a thicker, colder consistency.
Instructions
-
Prep: Wash any fresh fruit.
-
Combine: Add your liquid base to the blender first (this helps the blades spin smoothly). Add the yogurt, frozen berries, and strawberries.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth.
-
Adjust: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more liquid. If you prefer it sweeter, add a drizzle of your chosen sweetener and pulse briefly to incorporate.
-
Serve: Pour into a glass. Garnish with a fresh blackberry, a blueberry, and a slice of strawberry to get that look from the photo. Don’t forget a fun straw!
