Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1 Banana, sliced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- Fresh mint and strawberry slices for garnish
Instructions
- Start by washing all your berries thoroughly under cold water. Hull the strawberries and slice the banana.
- In a blender, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, and chia seeds.
- Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the smoothie into two tall glasses. Garnish with a fresh slice of strawberry and a sprig of mint.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing burst of berry flavors!
Helpful Tips
- For a chilly treat, use frozen berries or add a handful of ice cubes before blending.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Feel free to use any mix of berries you have on hand, and even throw in some blackberries or cherries for a different twist.
Storage Instructions
If you have any leftover smoothie, pour it into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within 24 hours for the freshest taste and nutritional value.
Ingredient Substitutions
- If you’re vegan, replace Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
- No honey? Use maple syrup or agave nectar for sweetness.
- Chia seeds can be swapped for flaxseeds for an equally nutritious boost.
Pairings
This Berry Smoothie pairs wonderfully with a light breakfast like an avocado toast or a whole-grain granola bar. For a more indulgent combo, serve it alongside fluffy pancakes or crispy waffles. A cup of green tea or a latte complements the smoothie well, balancing the flavors and uplifting the meal.
