Ingredients & Variations

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

If using frozen berries, thaw them slightly before use.

Berries have a lot of health benefits. Read about them here.

Yogurt – To make this smoothie vegan, use plant-based yogurts 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.
