Summer Berry Smoothie (Printable)

Creamy blend of summer berries, banana, almond milk and yogurt—fresh, fruity and ready in minutes.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 cup mixed fresh or frozen summer berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)

02 - 1 medium banana, peeled

03 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

04 - 1 tablespoon pure honey or maple syrup (optional)

05 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

06 - 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

07 - A few ice cubes (optional, especially if using fresh berries)

01 - Add the mixed berries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and chia seeds into the blender jar.

02 - Toss in a few ice cubes if you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie, especially when using fresh berries.

03 - Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 30 to 60 seconds.

04 - Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup as needed.

05 - Pour into glasses and serve right away for the best texture and flavor.

01 -

It takes five minutes from fridge to glass, which means zero excuses for skipping breakfast.
Frozen berries work just as well as fresh, so you can make this year round without guilt.

02 -

Adding too much ice at once waters down the flavor fast, so start with three cubes and add more only if the consistency feels too thin.
A frozen banana transforms the texture from liquid to almost milkshake level without needing extra ice or dairy.

03 -

Always put liquids into the blender first so the blades catch them immediately and create a vortex that pulls everything else down smoothly.
A squeeze of lemon juice on your banana before freezing stops it from turning brown and keeps the smoothie looking appetizing.
