Mixed Berry Smoothie
Description
The smoothie is made by blending creamy vanilla yogurt with frozen mixed berries and honey until smooth. Using frozen berries creates a cold, thick texture without needing additional ice. The vanilla yogurt provides a subtle sweetness and creaminess that balances the tartness of the berries. Honey sweetens the drink naturally without overpowering the fresh fruit taste.
This fruit smoothie yields about two 10-ounce servings, suitable for sharing or portion-controlled consumption. It can be enjoyed as a breakfast drink, afternoon refreshment, or light snack. For those using fresh berries, cleaning thoroughly and removing stems is necessary, plus adding ice to maintain chill and texture.
For dairy-free alternatives, substitute with plant-based yogurt or milk. Adjust thickness by adding liquid if a less thick consistency is preferred.
Ingredients
- ½ cup vanilla yogurt
- 12 oz. mixed berries frozen
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Place the vanilla yogurt in a blender, followed by berries, and honey.
- Close lid, and blend for 45-60 seconds on high until smooth.
- Divide evenly and enjoy.
Notes
- This recipe yields approximately 2.5 cups, or two 10-ounce servings.
- If using fresh berries, be sure to thoroughly wash and remove stems before blending.
- Add 1-2 cups of ice if using fresh berries to achieve a chilled texture similar to frozen berries.
- Use dairy-free yogurt or milk to prepare a dairy-free version of the smoothie.
- Add extra liquid instead of yogurt if a thinner consistency is desired.
