Ingredients

• 1½ cups frozen mixed berries
• ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla Greek yogurt)
• ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional)
• Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)

Instructions

1. Add the almond milk to your blender first.
2. Add the Greek yogurt, frozen mixed berries, vanilla extract, and honey if using.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add a few extra frozen berries or ice cubes.
5. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Tips for the Best Smoothie

• Use frozen berries for the thickest, frostiest texture.
• Full-fat Greek yogurt creates an extra creamy smoothie, while nonfat Greek yogurt keeps it lighter.
• Taste before adding sweetener—many frozen berry blends are naturally sweet enough.
• Blend for 30–60 seconds until completely smooth.

Variations and Substitutions

There are plenty of ways to customize this mixed berry smoothie based on your preferences or what you have on hand.

• Use different yogurt. Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt both work well. You can also substitute regular yogurt, Icelandic skyr, or a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan-friendly option.
• Swap the milk. Almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, dairy milk, or coconut milk all make delicious smoothies.
• Boost the protein. Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or an extra ¼ cup of Greek yogurt.
• Add healthy fats. Blend in chia seeds, flaxseed, hemp hearts, or a tablespoon of almond butter.
• Increase the greens. Toss in a handful of fresh spinach. It blends in easily without overpowering the berry flavor.
• Make it sweeter. Add honey, maple syrup, a pitted Medjool date, or a few drops of liquid stevia if desired.
• Give it a tropical twist. Blend in frozen mango or pineapple for extra sweetness and a bright, fruity flavor.

Storage Tips

Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored if needed.

• Refrigerate in an airtight jar or bottle for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking, as natural separation is normal.
• Freeze leftover smoothie in ice cube trays. Blend the frozen cubes with a splash of milk for a quick smoothie later.
• You can also prepare smoothie freezer packs by combining the frozen berries and optional add-ins in freezer bags.
• When you’re ready to enjoy one, simply add the contents to your blender with the yogurt and milk.

Nutrition Highlights
