Mixed Berry Bliss Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2
Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups Mixed Berries (Frozen works best for a thick texture: strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries)
-
1 large Ripe Banana (Fresh or frozen)
-
1 cup Milk of your choice (Dairy, Almond, or Oat milk)
-
½ cup Greek Yogurt (Plain or vanilla for extra creaminess and protein)
-
1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup (Optional, depending on how sweet your fruit is)
-
Handful of Ice (Only if using all fresh fruit)
Instructions
-
Layer the Liquid: Pour your milk and yogurt into the blender first. This helps the blades move freely and prevents the fruit from getting stuck.
-
Add the Fruit: Add the banana (broken into chunks) and the mixed berries.
-
Sweeten: Add your honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the texture is completely smooth and those tiny berry seeds are broken down.
-
Serve: Pour into tall glasses. For that professional look in your photo, garnish with a few fresh berries on the side and use a reusable metal straw!
Pro Tips for the Best Texture
-
The “Frosty” Factor: Using frozen bananas makes the smoothie taste almost like soft-serve ice cream.
-
Adjusting Thickness: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add more frozen fruit or a few ice cubes.
-
Boost It: You can easily hide a handful of baby spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds in this recipe without changing the flavor much.
