Berry Smoothie
A refreshing and vibrant blend of mixed berries and creamy yogurt that makes for a perfect healthy breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- •4 cups frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- •2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- •2 cups unsweetened almond milk or dairy milk
- •2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- •1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- •1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the frozen berries, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.
- 2
Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until the mixture is completely smooth and no large fruit chunks remain.
- 3
If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- 4
Taste the smoothie and add an extra teaspoon of honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
- 5
Pour into chilled glasses and sprinkle with chia seeds if using before serving immediately.
💡 Chef tips
- Use frozen berries instead of fresh to achieve a thick, frosty texture without needing to add ice, which can water down the flavor.
- For a vegan version, simply swap the Greek yogurt for a plant-based coconut or soy yogurt.
- You can prepare the fruit and seeds in individual freezer-safe bags ahead of time; just dump the contents into the blender and add the liquid when you are ready to serve.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished smoothie should have a thick, velvety texture with a deep purple color, smelling of fresh berries and tasting perfectly balanced between tart fruit and creamy sweetness.
