Description
This Creamy Mixed Berry Yogurt Smoothie is a refreshing, nutrient-packed blend of mixed berries, banana, Greek yogurt, and almond milk. Naturally sweetened and endlessly customizable, it’s a quick and energizing drink perfect for breakfast, snacks, or post-workout fuel.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt alternative)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- Optional add-ins: 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp flaxseeds, handful of spinach
Instructions
- Wash fresh berries and remove stems; if using frozen berries, add directly to blender. Peel and chunk the banana.
- Add berries, banana, Greek yogurt, and almond milk to a blender. Include any optional add-ins (chia seeds, flaxseeds, spinach) if desired.
- Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until smooth. Scrape down sides as needed. Add more milk for a thinner consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup if desired, then blend briefly again.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with extra berries or chia seeds if you like.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, substitute berries with mango or pineapple.
- Use coconut or almond yogurt for a vegan option.
- Add protein powder or nut butter for a more filling smoothie.
- Toss in kale or spinach for a green boost without overpowering the flavor.
- Meal prep tip: portion smoothie ingredients into freezer bags for quick blending later.
