Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
- 2 medium frozen bananas peeled and diced (use fresh if preferred)
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt Greek or regular
- 1½ to 2 cups milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1½ tablespoons honey adjust to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. If using fresh bananas, add a few ice cubes for thickness.
- Layer in Blender: Add ingredients in the following order: milk, yogurt, honey, bananas, then frozen berries.
- Blend: Start blending on low for 30 seconds, then increase to high. Blend 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if too thick.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste and tweak—add honey if too tart, more berries for flavor, or more milk to thin it out.
- Serve: Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately. Garnish with fresh berries or mint if desired.
Notes
Customization: Add chia seeds, flaxseed, cocoa powder, or a handful of spinach for extra nutrients. Storage: Store in mason jars for up to 24 hours in the fridge. Shake or stir before drinking. Make-Ahead Tip: Freeze smoothie packs with all solids for quick blending later. Troubleshooting: Too thick? Add milk gradually. Too thin? Add more frozen fruit or banana. Not sweet enough? Add honey, dates, or vanilla extract. Too sweet? Add lemon juice or more yogurt. Milk Options: Works with dairy, oat, almond, or coconut milk. Oat milk makes it creamier. Yogurt Swap: Skip yogurt by using extra banana, silken tofu, or coconut cream for creaminess.
