Calories: 228kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup frozen raspberries
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- ½ medium banana*
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt*
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or other nondairy or dairy milk
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, starting with the blender on low speed and then gradually increasing the speed to fully blend the smoothie. If the smoothie is too thick, blend in a little bit more almond milk. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Recipe serves 1 generously or makes 2 smaller servings.
- You can substitute 2 cups of frozen mixed berries for the individual frozen berries.
- If you make this smoothie without the banana, you may wish to add a tablespoon of honey or pure maple syrup to make up for the sweetness that the banana would add.
- For a dairy-free smoothie, substitute dairy free yogurt for the plain Greek yogurt and use nondairy milk.
- Add a teaspoon of ground flax seed, chia seeds or hemp seeds.
- To make this berry smoothie more filling for breakfast, add 2-3 tablespoons of old fashioned rolled oats along with the other ingredients.
- Add 1 tablespoon of almond butter or peanut butter.
- Add fresh spinach. You won’t taste the spinach, but it will alter the color of the smoothie.
