Quick and Easy Mixed Berry Smoothie
A refreshing blend of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and banana, made creamy with your choice of milk. Naturally sweet and packed with antioxidants, fibre, and vitamins, it’s the perfect healthy breakfast, post-workout drink, or afternoon pick-me-up.
Equipment
- Blender
- Measuring cups
- Smoothie bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 banana (ripe or frozen)
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp chia seeds
- Honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional, if you prefer sweeter)
Instructions
- Place the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, banana, and milk into your blender. Add chia seeds if using.
- Blend on high for 1–2 minutes, or until the mixture is thick, creamy, and no chunks of fruit remain. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If too thin, add extra frozen fruit.
- Give it a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, blend in a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- Pour into a tall glass or bowl. Enjoy with a straw or spoon.
- Sprinkle with granola, shredded coconut, extra berries, or nut butter for a more filling meal.
Notes
- Consistency: Use all frozen fruit for a thicker, milkshake-like texture, or fresh fruit for a lighter, juicier smoothie. Also you can adjust the amount of milk as needed for your desired thickness.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. The smoothie may lose its vibrant color if stored for too long. You can refrigerate it in a sealed jar for at least an hour. Shake or stir well before drinking.
- Meal prep: Freeze the berries and banana in a zip-top bag ahead of time for quick grab-and-blend breakfasts.
