Four-Berry Smoothies Recipe

 Four-Berry Smoothies are a refreshing and colorful drink packed with the natural sweetness and tang of mixed berries. This smoothie combines strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries to create a rich, fruity blend full of antioxidants and vitamins. It’s creamy, cold, and perfect for breakfast, a quick snack, or a post-workout boost. The flavor is balanced—sweet from the berries and honey, slightly tart from yogurt, and smooth from milk or juice. You can make it in minutes with just a blender and a handful of ingredients.

1. Cooking Time: 5 minutes

2. Serving: 2 servings

3. Ingredients:

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries

  • ½ cup frozen blueberries

  • ½ cup frozen raspberries

  • ½ cup frozen blackberries

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or any plant-based milk)

  • ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  • A few ice cubes (optional for extra thickness)

4. Instructions:

  1. Prepare the ingredients: If you’re using fresh berries, wash and pat them dry. For a colder, thicker smoothie, use frozen berries.

  2. Blend the base: Add milk, yogurt, and honey to the blender first. This helps the blades move smoothly.

  3. Add the berries: Toss in all four types of berries—strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Add the vanilla extract if using.

  4. Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed for about 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is creamy and all fruit chunks are gone.

  5. Check consistency: If it’s too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.

  6. Serve: Pour into tall glasses, and if you like, garnish with a few whole berries on top or a sprig of mint. Serve immediately while cold and fresh.
