    Mixed Berries – This healthy smoothie uses a mix of berries such as blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen berries. If using frozen berries, then thaw them slightly for easy blending.

    Strawberries – Use either fresh or frozen strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them slightly before use.

    Yogurt – To make this smoothie vegan, use plant-based yogurt like coconut yogurt, soy yogurt, or cashew yogurt. If you don’t have a vegan consideration, then you can use dairy yogurt too. Greek yogurt (not vegan) also works great.

    You can use flavored yogurt like blueberry yogurt, raspberry yogurt, or strawberry yogurt too.

    Orange Juice – Orange juice adds a refreshing taste and also thins down the smoothie. Adjust the quantity depending on the consistency 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 sweeter, then add a little.

    You can replace it with honey (not vegan), agave nectar, or sugar.

    Add nut butter like peanut butter, almond butter, etc to make the smoothie even more nutritious.

    Seeds like chia seeds, hemp seeds, and flax seeds are also a great addition.

    You can add a large frozen banana to make the smoothie more filling and thicker.

    Add your favorite protein powder or collagen (powder or liquid) to the smoothie. Vitamin C from fruits will help to absorb the protein better.

    How To Make Berry Blast Smoothie

    Add

    • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
    • 1 cup frozen strawberries
    • 1 cup vegan yogurt
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 and ½ cups of orange juice

    to a blender.

    All the ingredients added to a blender.

    Close the lid and blend until well combined.

    Tip – Thaw the frozen berries for 10 minutes for easy blending.

    Pour into serving glasses. Garnish with mint leaves, edible flowers, halved strawberries, or a few blueberries, and enjoy!

    Ready berry blast smoothie.

    Serving Suggestions

    Relish a glass of Berry Blast No Banana Smoothie on a hot summer day for a quick breakfast or snack or whenever hunger strikes.

    You can skip adding orange juice and make a thicker smoothie. Transfer it to a bowl and top it with your choice of topping to make a berry smoothie bowl.

    You can add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the smoothie and drink it as a pre or post-workout snack.

    Storage Suggestions

    Make it fresh for the best taste.

    In case you have leftovers, store them in a covered container for about a day in the refrigerator. Mix well before consuming.

    It is not freezer friendly! The yogurt might curdle while thawing the smoothie.

      Looks magical!
      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.
