I got large bags of frozen berries from Sam’s Club last week. They were much more economical than the fresh ones, and the quality was top-notch. I am using them to make this Berry Blast Smoothie on repeat for our breakfast. Do try this recipe. I am sure you’ll love it too!
About Berry Blast Smoothie
This No-Banana Berry Blast Smoothie is a delicious blend of six simple ingredients: mixed berries, strawberries, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and orange juice. It is easy to make, refreshing, and comes together in under five minutes.
Serve it as a quick breakfast for busy mornings, a snack between meals, or a light lunch. Make a thicker smoothie and serve it as a smoothie bowl with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Mixed Berries – This smoothie recipe uses a mix of berries, such as blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen berries. If using frozen berries, thaw them slightly to make blending easier.
Yogurt – To make this smoothie vegan, use plant-based yogurts such as coconut, soy, or cashew. If you don’t have a vegan consideration, you can use dairy yogurt, too. Greek yogurt also works great.
You can also use flavored yogurt, such as blueberry, raspberry, or strawberry.
Orange Juice adds a refreshing taste and also thins down the smoothie. Adjust the quantity depending on the consistency of the smoothie you need.
You can replace orange juice with coconut water, pineapple juice, almond milk, or coconut milk.
Vanilla Extract – Use a good-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor.
Maple Syrup – It is optional, but if you like your smoothie to be sweeter, add a little.
You can replace it with honey (not vegan), agave nectar, or sugar.
You can add nut butter, such as peanut butter or almond butter.
Seeds like chia, hemp, and flax are also great additions.
Add a large frozen banana to make the smoothie more filling and thicker.
How To Make Berry Blast Smoothie
Step 1: Add the following ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (I used blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries)
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or any other sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and ½ cups of orange juice
Tip: Thaw the frozen berries for 10 minutes for easier blending.
Step 2: Close the lid and blend until well combined.
Step 3: If the smoothie is too thick, add more juice. Also, check the sweetener and add more if needed.
Step 4: Pour into serving glasses. Garnish with mint leaves, edible flowers, halved strawberries, or a few blueberries, and enjoy!
Storage Suggestions
You can store the leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving.
You can also freeze it for up to 2 months. Thaw, blend once again briefly in a blender, and serve.

One hack I saw from an Instagram blogger is adding collagen to your smoothie. Vitamin C from fruits will help you absorb protein better. I used to use powder forms, but even though they wrote “no taste/odor” everywhere, I felt an unpleasant taste and smell. So I recently switched to a liquid collagen supplement. They are really tasteless and do not spoil the taste of the dish.
