Berry Smoothie Recipe

This Berry Smoothie Recipe is a celebration of deliciousness made with strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. The best mixed-berry smoothie is naturally sweetened and uses a blender to blend everything from frozen bananas to berries. Serve this berry shake for breakfast, as a snack, or even dessert!

When it’s berry season you want to amp up the berries in your diet.

And when I say “you” I mean “me too” because I’m obsessed with all things berries. I mean, look at these Blueberry Crumble Bars. 💜

So, it’s true I’m looking for all the ways to use berries in my diet. We all should be! Berries are so healthy! They’re very nutrient-dense, referring to the number of nutrients per calorie. I happen to find a smoothy a great way to get more berries in my diet.

You can make a healthy berry smoothie using your favorite berries. I like to add a frozen banana to add creamy sweetness to my easy smoothies. In addition, you can add spinach (or other healthy greens like kale or chard), for added nutrition.

What You Need

You can find the full printable recipe, including ingredient quantities, below. But first, here are some explanations of ingredients and steps to help you make this recipe perfect every time.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe:

• Berries — I use mixed frozen berries, but you can substitute your favorite fresh berries, like strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. If using fresh berries, you’ll need to add ice to the blender.
• Bananas — I use frozen bananas for this recipe. It’s easy to freeze bananas, by peeling them, chopping them, and placing them in a freezer bag. Then put the bag in the freezer.
• Plant-based Milk — You’ll need 2 cups unsweetened soy milk.

How to Make a Berry Smoothie

1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Allow it to sit for a moment, to allow the frozen bananas to soften slightly. 
2. Blend the ingredients until well combined.
3. Check the consistency of your smoothie. If it’s too thick, add a little more soy milk. If it’s too thin, add some ice and pulse again. 
4. If you want it to be sweeter, add sweeteners, like Stevia, Agave Nectar, Maple Syrup, if necessary based on your preference for sweetness.

Smoothie Nutrition

There’s about 200 calories per serving of this very berry smoothie Berries are a great source of nutrition, such as:

• Berries are a great source of manganese
• Bananas provide fiber and potassium
• Berries provide Vitamin C
• Strawberries are a good source of folate, one of the B vitamins.

This smoothie is a great way of getting a lot of healthy veggie/fruity nutrients in one sitting. Normally, I add fresh greens like spinach to my smoothies, but every now and then it’s nice to show off that vibrant, berry color.

If you’re drinking this as a breakfast drink or even for dessert, it has a minimal amount of calories, particularly if you’re considering the nutritional benefits.
