Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Mixed frozen berries (like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
Banana (for natural sweetness and creaminess)
Greek yogurt or any plain/vanilla yogurt
Milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or soy)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
Ice cubes (optional, if I want it extra cold)

Directions

I add the frozen berries, banana, yogurt, and milk into a blender.
If I want it sweeter, I drizzle in a little honey or maple syrup.
I blend everything until smooth and creamy.
If it’s too thick, I add more milk a little at a time.
I pour it into a glass and serve immediately—sometimes with fresh berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 smoothie servings.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Blend time: 1–2 minutes
Total time: 7 minutes

Variations

Sometimes I toss in a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost that doesn’t overpower the berry flavor. I also like adding chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra nutrients. For a protein boost, I’ll mix in a scoop of protein powder or nut butter. And when I want a tropical twist, I replace the banana with frozen mango or pineapple.

storage/reheating

I prefer drinking smoothies fresh, but if I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I give it a good shake before drinking. Freezing isn’t ideal, but I sometimes freeze the blended smoothie in popsicle molds for a fun, icy treat. Wild Berry Smoothie

FAQs

Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

Yes, I can—but I usually add some ice if I’m using fresh berries to keep the smoothie cold and thick.

How can I make it dairy-free?

I just use a non-dairy yogurt and plant-based milk like almond, oat, or coconut milk. It still turns out creamy and flavorful.

Is this smoothie good for breakfast?

Definitely. I often have it in the morning—it’s filling, energizing, and full of fiber, especially if I add seeds or protein powder.

Can I make it ahead of time?

It’s best fresh, but I’ve made it a few hours ahead and stored it in the fridge. Just give it a shake or stir before drinking.

What if I don’t have a banana?

I’ve replaced banana with avocado, frozen mango, or even cooked oats to keep the smoothie thick and smooth.
