Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of frozen mixed berries, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of almond milk, and 1 tablespoon of honey (if desired).
- Take the frozen mixed berries out of the freezer and allow them to sit for a minute to slightly soften, making them easier to blend.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. This will help it blend more easily with the other ingredients.
- In a blender, add the frozen mixed berries, banana pieces, and almond milk. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in the honey at this stage.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie. If you would like it sweeter, you can add more honey and blend again briefly to combine.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing it evenly. If desired, you can garnish with a few extra berries on top or a slice of banana.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing frozen mixed berry smoothie!
Tips
- Use frozen berries for a thicker, more frosty texture. Fresh berries can work, but add ice for the right consistency.
- Choose a ripe banana for natural sweetness—the riper, the better! This eliminates the need for extra sweeteners.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
- If your blender struggles, add liquid in stages and use the pulse function to break down frozen ingredients.
- For a dairy-free version, stick with almond milk or try coconut milk for a tropical twist.
- Prep smoothie ingredients in advance by portioning berries and bananas in freezer bags for quick morning blending.
- Clean your blender immediately after use to prevent berry stains and sticky residue.
