Ingredients

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

Frozen wild berry mix (such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries)
Ripe banana
Greek yogurt or regular yogurt
Milk or a non-dairy alternative (like almond, oat, or soy milk)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)
Chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for added nutrition)

Directions

I add the frozen berries, banana, yogurt, and milk to a blender.
If I want it a little sweeter, I drizzle in some honey or maple syrup.
I like to toss in a few ice cubes for a thicker consistency, especially on hot days.
I blend everything on high until smooth and creamy.
I pour it into a glass and sprinkle chia or flaxseeds on top if I’m using them.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 servings and takes just 5 minutes to prepare. It’s perfect when I need a fast, healthy option to start the day or recharge in the afternoon.

Variations

There are so many ways I change up this smoothie. Sometimes I add a scoop of protein powder or a handful of spinach for extra nutrients. I’ve also used coconut water or juice instead of milk for a lighter taste. If I’m out of banana, I swap in avocado or mango to keep it creamy.

storage/reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed right after blending. But if I need to store it, I keep it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 day. I just give it a shake or a quick blend before drinking, since it may separate a little over time. I don’t reheat smoothies, but I do freeze leftover smoothie into ice cube trays for blending later.

FAQs

Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

Yes, I can use fresh berries, but I usually add ice to thicken the smoothie since frozen berries help give it that chilled, creamy texture.

What can I use instead of banana?

I like using avocado, mango, or even cooked sweet potato for creaminess if I don’t want or have a banana.

Is this smoothie vegan?

It can be! I just use a non-dairy yogurt and milk, and sweeten it with maple syrup instead of honey.

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

Yes, I sometimes prep smoothie packs by freezing the fruit in individual portions. Then I just blend with yogurt and milk when I’m ready.

How do I make it more filling?

To make it more of a meal, I add protein powder, nut butter, oats, or chia seeds to keep me full longer.

Conclusion

This Wild Berry Smoothie is everything I look for in a quick, healthy recipe—vibrant, refreshing, and full of flavor.
