Triple Berry Cream Smoothie
Ingredients
-
1 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)
-
1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen for extra thickness)
-
1 cup milk of your choice (dairy, almond, or oat milk work great)
-
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
-
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
-
A splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
Prep the Fruit: If you are using fresh berries instead of frozen, add 1/2 cup of ice to the blender to ensure you get that thick, chilled consistency seen in the photo.
Combine: Add the milk and yogurt to the blender first. Adding liquids first helps the blades spin more freely and prevents sticking.
Add Solids: Add the mixed berries, banana, and your sweetener of choice.
Blend: Start the blender on a low setting and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and the berry skins are finely incorporated.
Serve: Pour into a tall glass. If you want to match the image perfectly, garnish with a few fresh berries on the side
Tips for the Perfect Texture
-
For a Thicker Smoothie: Use a frozen banana. It acts like “healthy ice cream” and creates a much creamier texture than ice cubes.
-
For Extra Nutrition: Feel free to toss in a small handful of spinach (it won’t change the flavor much) or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
-
Adjusting Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add more frozen fruit or a few ice cubes.
