Summer Berry Smoothie (Print Version)

Creamy summer berry blend with banana, almond milk and yogurt, ready in 5 minutes.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup mixed fresh or frozen summer berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, 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 - Place the mixed berries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and chia seeds into a blender.

02 - Add ice cubes if desired for a thicker, colder smoothie.

03 - Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 30 to 60 seconds.

04 - Taste and adjust sweetness as needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.

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

01 -

It takes five minutes from fridge to glass, which means zero excuses for skipping breakfast.
The natural sweetness of ripe berries and banana means you control exactly how much extra sweetener goes in.
Frozen berries make this possible year round, even when summer feels like a distant memory.

02 -

Frozen berries give you a thicker, creamier smoothie without diluting the flavor the way ice can.
A banana that is too green will taste chalky and bland, so wait for those brown freckles to appear.

03 -

Layer liquids first, then soft fruit, then frozen items on top to help your blender grip everything evenly.
If the smoothie tastes flat, a tiny pinch of salt wakes up the berry flavor more than extra sweetener ever will.
