A berry smoothie is the kind of drink that works for breakfast, snack time, or after a workout. Made with a mix of berries and simple ingredients, it’s naturally sweet, colorful, and rich in vitamins. This recipe serves 2.
Ingredients
-
1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen — blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
-
1 banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)
-
½ cup plain yogurt or milk (dairy or non-dairy)
-
½ cup orange juice or water
-
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
-
A few ice cubes (if using fresh berries)
Instructions
-
Add the berries, banana, yogurt or milk, and juice or water to a blender.
-
Blend until smooth. Add honey or sweetener if needed, and blend again.
-
Add ice if you want it extra cold and thick, then blend one last time.
Serving
Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a few whole berries or a mint leaf if you like.
Storing
Drink fresh for the best taste and texture. You can refrigerate for up to 12 hours — just stir or shake before drinking.
