This Berry Smoothie is everything you want in a glass — vibrant, refreshing, and packed with nature's candy. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a revitalizing afternoon snack, this smoothie is as nutritious as it is delicious.
Strawberries bring a sweet and slightly tart flavor, along with a dose of vitamin C. Blueberries, known for their antioxidant properties, add a beautiful color and mild sweetness. Raspberries contribute a tangy punch and more fiber to the mix. The banana offers creaminess and natural sweetness, balancing the tartness of the berries. Non-fat plain yogurt makes the smoothie creamy while providing protein and probiotics. Orange juice adds a citrusy zing, enhancing the overall flavor profile. Honey is optional but adds a touch of natural sweetness if needed. Lastly, ice cubes are there to make it refreshingly cold and thick.
This smoothie pairs wonderfully with a slice of whole-grain toast topped with avocado for a balanced breakfast. For a more indulgent treat, serve it alongside a couple of homemade muffins or a light salad for a refreshing lunch option.
Start by rinsing your strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cold water. This helps remove any dirt or pesticides, and it's always a good practice when dealing with fresh produce. Next, peel the banana and slice it into manageable pieces. This will make it easier to blend into a smooth consistency.
Now, gather all your ingredients and get your blender ready. Add the berries, banana slices, yogurt, orange juice, and honey to the blender. Top it off with the ice cubes. Secure the lid and blend everything on high speed. You want to keep it going until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 to 45 seconds, depending on your blender's power.
Once blended, give it a taste. If you feel like it needs a bit more sweetness, add a little more honey and blend again for a few seconds. Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy the vibrant flavors and the boost of energy!
