Ingredients for Wholesome Fruit Blend

Strawberries bring a sweet, slightly tart flavor and a dose of vitamin C. They also add a lovely pink color to the blend. Banana offers creaminess and a natural sweetness, making the smoothie more filling. Blueberries are tiny but mighty, rich in antioxidants and giving a burst of blue-purple hue. Raspberries add a touch of tartness and more fiber. Orange juice acts as a tangy liquid base, enhancing the fruit flavors. Greek yogurt provides creaminess, protein, and a bit of tang. Honey is the natural sweetener that balances the tartness of the berries. Finally, ice cubes thicken and chill the smoothie, making it refreshing.

Tips & Tricks

  • Freeze the banana slices beforehand for an even thicker texture.
  • If your fruits aren’t sweet enough, add a bit more honey to taste.
  • For a dairy-free version, swap the Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative.

Serving Suggestions

This smoothie is a standalone treat, but you can pair it with a handful of nuts for a balanced snack. It's also delightful alongside a light breakfast like a whole-grain toast with almond butter.

Wholesome Fruit Blend Recipe Walkthrough

Start by gathering all your fresh fruits. Give them a good rinse under cold water to remove any dirt or residues. Clean strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries thoroughly. For the banana, simply peel and slice it into chunks. This helps the blender do its job more efficiently.

Next, set up your blender on the counter and begin adding the ingredients. Throw in the strawberries, banana chunks, blueberries, and raspberries. Pour in the orange juice, which will help everything blend smoothly. Add the Greek yogurt for that creamy texture and protein boost. Drizzle the honey over the mix; this touch of sweetness makes all the difference.

Now, toss in the ice cubes. These will chill the smoothie, giving it that refreshing kick. Secure the blender lid tightly, and blend on high speed. You’re aiming for a smooth, consistent texture, so let it run for about 30 to 60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary, then give it one last blitz.

Once everything is blended to perfection, pour the smoothie into glasses. Serve immediately while it's cold and fresh. Enjoy the vibrant colors and flavors!
