Summer Berry Smoothie (Print View)

Creamy, fruity blend of summer berries, banana, yogurt and almond milk - ready in minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 cup mixed fresh or frozen summer berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
02 - 1 medium banana, peeled

→ Liquids

03 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
04 - 1 tablespoon pure honey or maple syrup (optional)

→ Add-Ins

05 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
06 - 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
07 - A few ice cubes (optional, especially if using fresh berries)

# How to Make:

01 - Add the mixed berries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and chia seeds into the blender.
02 - Toss in a few ice cubes if you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie, especially when using fresh berries.
03 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 30 to 60 seconds.
04 - Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup as needed.
05 - Pour into glasses and serve right away for the best flavor and texture.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes exactly five minutes from fridge to glass, which means zero excuses on busy mornings.
  • The tang from the berries paired with creamy Greek yogurt tastes like something from a juice bar that charges twelve dollars.
02 -
  • Frozen berries make a dramatically thicker and colder smoothie than fresh ones, so stock up when they are on sale.
  • If you add spinach, do not tell anyone, because the berry color hides it completely and they will never guess.
03 -
  • Freeze overripe bananas in chunks so you always have them ready and can skip the ice entirely.
  • A tiny pinch of salt in the blender makes the berry flavor pop in a way that surprises people every single time.
