Berry-Banana Bliss Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 large jar
Ingredients
Category Ingredient Quantity
The Base Frozen Strawberries 1 cup
Blueberries (Fresh or Frozen) ½ cup
Ripe Banana 1 medium
Liquid Milk (Dairy or Almond/Oat) 1 cup
Creaminess Greek Yogurt (Plain or Vanilla) ½ cup
Sweetener Honey or Maple Syrup 1 tbsp (optional)
Garnish Fresh Mint & Strawberries For the top
Instructions
Prep the Fruit: If you are using fresh fruit, give the strawberries and blueberries a good rinse. Peel the banana (pro-tip: use a spotted banana for extra sweetness).
Layer the Blender: Add the liquid first (this helps the blades move smoothly), followed by the yogurt, then the fruit.
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 well-incorporated.
Adjust Consistency: * If it’s too thick: Add a splash more milk.
If it’s too thin: Add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit.
Serve: Pour into a large glass jar. Add a sprig of fresh mint and a couple of those fun striped straws to match the photo!
A Little Tip for Success
Using frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit with ice cubes will give you that thick, velvety “milkshake” consistency seen in the picture without watering down the flavor.
