Blackberry Smoothie
Description
The Blackberry Smoothie uses fresh or frozen blackberries and half a frozen banana as primary fruit components, contributing both tart and sweet flavors alongside creamy texture from plain Greek yogurt. Ice cubes chill the beverage and add a slightly frosty texture. Almond milk thins the smoothie to a drinkable consistency, and optional liquid stevia adjusts sweetness without added sugar.
Blending all ingredients until smooth results in a vibrant purple drink that balances the berry's slight acidity with the banana's mild sweetness and yogurt's creaminess. The recipe encourages adjusting milk quantity to reach preferred thickness.
This smoothie suits a nutritious snack or light breakfast and offers flexibility with dairy-free substitutions for yogurt and various natural sweeteners or protein additions as desired.
Ingredients
- 1 cup blackberries fresh or frozen
- ½ banana frozen
- ½ cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 4 ice cubes
- ½-¾ cup almond milk unsweetened
- liquid stevia to taste, or other natural sweetener, a few drops
Instructions
- Place blackberries, banana, yogurt, ice cubes and 1/4 cup milk in blender and blend until fruit is pureed and ingredients are well combined.
- Taste and add stevia to sweeten as well as more milk to get the desired thickness (if necessary).
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
- Omitting banana? Add frozen blueberries or frozen mango to maintain flavor and texture.
- For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute plain Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt.
- Sweeteners like maple syrup, honey, or monkfruit can replace liquid stevia depending on preference.
- Add flaxseeds or chia seeds to boost fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
- Protein powder, such as vanilla-flavored, can be included for a satisfying meal replacement smoothie.
