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 amount of nutrients per calorie. I happen to find a smoothy a great way to get more berries in my diet.

What Goes in the Best Berry Smoothie?

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

For this very berry smoothie, you’ll find:

• strawberries
• raspberries
• blackberries

The best smoothies don’t add refined sugars. This frozen berry smoothie recipe is a great way of getting a lot of healthy veggie/fruity nutrients in one sitting. Normally, I add a bunch of spinach to my smoothies, but every now and then it’s nice to show off that vibrant, berry color.

How Many Calories are in a Mixed Berry Smoothie?

A very berry smoothie is very reasonable when it comes to calories. This recipe has less than 200 calories per serving.

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

How to Make a Berry Smoothie

You may be asking how to make a smoothie recipe. It’s a great question. And the answer is simple: It’s easy to make smoothies!

Begin by combining all the ingredients in a blender. Allow it to sit for a moment, to allow the frozen bananas to soften slightly.

Then blend the ingredients until well combined. Check the consistency of your berry smoothie. I don’t like my berry smoothies to be too thick. If yours is, add a little more almond milk. If it’s too thin, add additional ice and pulse again.

You can add sweetener, like Stevia, Agave Nectar, Maple Syrup if necessary based on your preference for sweetness.
