Instructions
Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water. Peel the banana and cut it into chunks.
Add the mixed berries, banana chunks, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract to a blender.
Blend the ingredients on high speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and well combined.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again for another 20-30 seconds until the smoothie is thick and creamy.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed. Blend for a few more seconds if additional ingredients are added.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh berries or a slice of banana if desired.
Chef's Tips
- Frozen Fruits: Use frozen berries and banana for a thicker and colder smoothie without needing ice cubes.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds for an extra protein kick.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and almond milk with any other plant-based milk.
- Green Smoothie: Add a handful of spinach or kale for added nutrients without altering the taste significantly.
- Storage: Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
