Summer Berry Smoothie (Print version)

Bright, creamy blend of summer berries, banana, almond milk and Greek yogurt—ready in minutes for breakfast or snack.

# What goes in:

01 - 1 cup mixed fresh or frozen summer berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or 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 a blender.

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 desired.

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

01 -

It takes five minutes from fridge to glass, which means no excuses on busy mornings.
Frozen berries make it taste like a milkshake while sneaking in real nutrition.

02 -

Over-ripened bananas are your best friend here because they bring natural sweetness without any added sugar.
If you use all frozen berries and skip the ice, the smoothie turns out impossibly thick, almost like soft serve.

03 -

Freeze your bananas peeled and chopped in a bag so they are always ready to drop straight into the blender.
Layer liquids first, then soft ingredients, then frozen items on top for the smoothest blend with the least scraping.
