You can swap honey for maple syrup or agave, or add a dash of vanilla for extra flavor. Blend for 30 seconds until smooth, adjusting with more milk if too thick or extra berries/yogurt if too thin.

How to Prep Ingredients

• ▢
  The first step to making your berry smoothie is to prepare the ingredients. Start by rinsing your chosen berries under cold running water. This is an important step as it helps to remove any dirt or residue from the berries.
• ▢
  You can use any combination of berries you like for this recipe – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries are all great choices. If you’re using frozen mixed berries, you can skip this step.

How to Blend the Smoothie

• ▢
  Next, it’s time to blend your ingredients together. Take your blender and add in your choice of milk (you can use almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk for a dairy-free option), your rinsed or frozen berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess, and a spoon of raw honey for natural sweetness.
• ▢
  If you prefer, you could also substitute the honey with other sweeteners like agave or maple syrup. Or, if you’re a fan of vanilla, a dash of vanilla extract would add a lovely flavor to your smoothie.
• ▢
  Blend the ingredients together for about 30 seconds or until you achieve a smooth consistency. If your smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more milk. If it is too thin, add some more berries or yogurt.
• ▢
  Once your smoothie is well mixed, it is ready to be served. Pour your smoothie into a 2 – 16 oz. glass and enjoy it right away. This size should be perfect for a filling snack or a quick breakfast on the go.
• ▢
  And there you have it – a delicious, healthy berry smoothie that’s easy to make and packed with nutrients. Enjoy!

Notes

1. Always rinse your fruit: Before making your berry smoothie, rinse your frozen or fresh berries under cold running water to remove any dirt or residue.

5. Customize your smoothie: Feel free to add protein powder or swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative like almond or soy milk to suit your dietary needs and taste preferences.
6. Adjust sweetness: If you like a sweeter smoothie, add a little extra honey, agave, or maple syrup – but add gradually to keep it balanced and healthy.
