Instructions
- 1
Add to blender: 1 frozen banana (peeled before freezing), 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry), 1 cup of milk (dairy, almond, or oat), ½ cup plain Greek yogurt.
- 2
Add the sweetener: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Adjust to taste.
- 3
Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon nut butter (peanut or almond) for protein, 1 tablespoon chia seeds for fiber, a handful of spinach for hidden greens, ½ cup orange juice for tropical flavor.
- 4
Blend on high for 60 seconds until completely smooth and thick — milkshake consistency.
- 5
Taste and adjust. If too thick, add more milk. If too thin, add ice or more frozen fruit. If not sweet enough, add another teaspoon of honey.
- 6
Pour into tall glasses. Drink immediately — smoothies separate within 10 minutes. Top with sliced banana, fresh berries, granola, or a drizzle of nut butter.

💡 Expert Tips
- 1.Frozen fruit. Essential for thickness without ice diluting flavor.
- 2.Frozen banana is the secret. Provides creaminess and natural sweetness. Buy ripe, peel, freeze.
- 3.Greek yogurt for body. Regular yogurt makes the smoothie thinner. Greek gives milkshake thickness.
- 4.Drink immediately. Smoothies separate fast and lose freshness.
🔬 Why It Works
Mixed fruit smoothies succeed because variety provides multiple flavors and textures, while the frozen fruit + yogurt combination gives the right milkshake consistency. The combination provides protein (yogurt), fiber (fruit), healthy fats (optional nut butter), and vitamins. Endlessly variable with different fruits and add-ins.
