Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Blackberry Banana Smoothie

• It uses simple ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to make. Perfect for when you’re short on time!
• This recipe uses frozen fruit, so you can make it all year round regardless of what fruits are in season!
• You can customize this recipe and change it up by adding nut butter, switching up the protein powder flavors, and using different berries!
• This smoothie has been tested using various vegan milks and yogurts, as well as with regular dairy milk, so you can use either one.
• The recipe is gluten free, nut free, soy free, egg free, and overall very allergy friendly if you have food sensitivities.
• The protein powder and the yogurt make the smoothie filling and super healthy too.

Ingredients Needed

• Frozen Blackberries: I recommend using frozen blackberries in this smoothie, because they make the smoothie cold and creamy, but you can use fresh if that’s all you have!
• Frozen Strawberries: Frozen works best but you can also use fresh strawberries if that’s all you have. You can also wash and then freeze your fresh berries to make smoothies with later!
• Frozen Banana: Frozen bananas add to the creaminess of the smoothie, but if you don't have frozen bananas you can use fresh ones. Keep in mind that the riper the bananas, the sweeter they are.
• Milk: You can use regular dairy milk or any plant based milk of your choice! I like to use unsweetened oat milk because it's creamy and thicker than other vegan milks!
• Yogurt: You can use whatever yogurt fits your dietary needs and preferences. You can use greek yogurt, regular yogurt, coconut yogurt, almond yogurt, or soy yogurt. Use plain yogurt if you want to avoid added sugars. If you don't have yogurt, you can also replace the yogurt with milk (regular or vegan).
• Protein powder: You can use any whey protein powder if you aren’t vegan/dairy free, or a vegan vanilla protein powder works just as well. My favorite protein to use is flavourless collagen peptides. Note that collagen peptides are dairy free but not vegan.

Step By Step Instructions

This smoothie is ready in a flash and takes just minutes to make, so there really aren’t many steps!

Step One: Add banana, strawberries, blackberries, milk, yogurt, protein (if using), and any other seeds or mix-ins desired to a blender.

Step Two: Blend until smooth and add more milk or fruit as needed to adjust consistency.

Expert Tips

• Use a good blender - it makes life so much easier when making smoothies! You don’t have to spend a ton of money on one either. My blender is not expensive, but it does the job! If your blender isn’t very powerful, you may have to cut the banana up into chunks.
• Use frozen fruit - using frozen fruit instead of fresh gives smoothies a thick, cold, and refreshing creamy texture.
• Add more milk to adjust the consistency - if the smoothie seems too thick, add more milk until the consistency is to your liking. You can also add more fruit to thicken it.

Storage and Freezing Instructions

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. You can make it ahead of time by measuring out the banana, berries, and add-ins in an individual container or bag in the freezer. When you want to make the smoothie, just put the ingredients in the blender then add the yogurt, milk, and protein!
