Mixed Berry Smoothie with Almond Milk
A Mixed Berry Smoothie with Almond Milk is a refreshing and nutritious beverage that’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even as a post-workout treat. Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and natural sweetness, this smoothie is not only delicious but also good for you.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen) – You can use a combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (if using fresh berries)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a blender, add the mixed berries, sliced banana, and Greek yogurt.
Pour in the almond milk and add the honey (if using) and vanilla extract.
If using fresh berries, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender to make the smoothie chilled and refreshing.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if needed.
Pour the Mixed Berry Smoothie into glasses and garnish with some fresh berries, if desired.
Enjoy the smoothie immediately while it’s fresh and at its best!
TIPS
Feel free to use your favorite milk substitute, such as soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk, if you prefer or have dietary restrictions.
To make the smoothie even more nutritious, you can add a handful of baby spinach or kale leaves for some added greens.
If you like your smoothie colder and thicker, you can use frozen berries instead of fresh ones.
For an extra protein boost, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the smoothie.
