Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
Liquids
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
Sweeteners and Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional, about 4-5 cubes)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: Wash all the berries thoroughly under cold water. Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them in halves to help blend easily.
- Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Add ice cubes if you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie.
- Blend until smooth: Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds or until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency with no large fruit pieces remaining.
- Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy fresh for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
Notes
- Use frozen berries instead of fresh and omit ice cubes for a naturally chilled smoothie.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to taste.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt to make it vegan.
- This smoothie is best consumed immediately to preserve freshness and nutrients.
