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. Look at these Blueberry Crumble Bars and this vegan Raw Cheesecake.
So, I’m looking for all the ways to use berries in my diet. For example, this purple smoothie bowl is a favorite!
The thing is, berries are so healthy! They’re very nutrient-dense, referring to the number of nutrients per calorie. Smoothies are a great way to get more berries in my diet.

Ingredients & Substitutions
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.
- 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.
Marly’s Tips
For a real change of pace, add some chopped fresh pineapple to the blender. Here’s more on cutting a pineapple the easiest way possible!
You can make a healthy berry smoothie without yogurt and 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.
