Ingredients for Berry Smoothie

• Frozen mixed berries – If there are certain berries you don’t like, then buy the specific berries separately!
• Banana – You can use fresh banana or frozen banana. If you use frozen, you may need extra milk to help thin the smoothie.
• Vanilla yogurt – Feel free to use plain yogurt if you prefer! You can use leftover yogurt to make this yummy frozen yogurt bark.
• Milk – I recommend using whole milk, but you can use 2% milk or 1% milk if you prefer. You can also use a dairy-free milk substitute.

How to Make Mixed Berry Smoothie

Add frozen berries, banana, vanilla yogurt, and milk to the blender.

Blend for a few minutes until completely smooth. If needed, stir the ingredients in the blender and blend again to get the last few chunks of frozen fruit.

Divide the smoothie mixture into two cups and garnish with extra fresh or frozen mixed berries.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

What to Serve with Mixed Berry Smoothie

This tasty frozen fruit smoothie is of course wonderful all on its own! But you can serve some other quick breakfast foods alongside it if you want.

These ham and cheese egg muffins are great to eat on-the-go with your smoothie. Or, you can make something easy like tater tot breakfast casserole or crescent roll breakfast casserole.

How to Store Leftover Berry Smoothie

If you need to save the second serving of banana berry smoothie, you can freeze it or pop it in the fridge for the next day!

FRIDGE: Place the smoothie in a cup with a lid or a glass mason jar, and store in the fridge for up 2 two days. Shake up the cup whenever you’re ready to drink it!

FREEZER: Store leftover smoothie in a freezer-safe bag and lay it flat in the freezer. Or, you can pour it into an ice cube tray or popsicle molds. Allow the smoothie to thaw or place the frozen smoothie in a blender with more liquid and blend until smooth.

How do I make my smoothie more thin?

If your smoothie is a little too thick, add a splash of milk or water and blend it in. You could also add a little bit of yogurt to help thin it out and make it a bit more creamy.

Are berry smoothies healthy?

The mixed berries are full of really important and healthy vitamins and nutrients. Yogurt is good for the body as well! Bananas are full of potassium and a great source of natural sweetener which eliminates the need for sugar. This smoothie is a very healthy choice!

Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely! It is really easy to double, or even triple, this recipe. The serving size of this berry banana smoothie recipe is 2 smoothies, so if you need to serve more people feel free to double the recipe.

If you’re serving a large group, don’t overload your blender! Divide the ingredients into separate batches so that your smoothies can be blended to a good and creamy consistency.

This easy berry smoothie is so refreshing and tasty! Blend it up and enjoy!
