Mixed Berry Smoothie
Description
The Mixed Berry Smoothie features a combination of frozen strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, complemented by frozen banana to add natural sweetness and creaminess. Plain yogurt adds body and subtle tang, while vanilla extract enhances overall flavor. Sugar adjusts sweetness to taste without overpowering the fruit. Unsweetened almond milk provides a dairy-free base that blends smoothly with the frozen ingredients. Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice, giving the smoothie a thicker consistency that resembles a milkshake.
Blending all ingredients together until smooth ensures a uniform texture with no chunks. Additional almond milk can be added if the smoothie is too thick. This drink works well as a refreshing snack, a light breakfast, or a post-workout treat, offering fruit flavors with a creamy, luscious mouthfeel.
Frozen fruit is important to achieve the creamy texture here, so fresh fruit won’t produce the same result unless ice is added separately. The recipe allows substitutions in milk choice as desired.
Ingredients
- 3 cups mixed berries $4.99, frozen
- 1 banana $0.21, frozen, sliced
- 1/2 cup PLAIN yogurt $0.80

- 1 1/2 cups almond milk $0.65, unsweetened
Instructions

Notes
- Using frozen fruit is key to obtaining a creamy, thick texture without diluting with ice.
- You can substitute any combination of frozen berries to suit your preference.
- Unsweetened almond milk is used here for a non-dairy base, but any dairy or non-dairy milk may be used.
