Summer Berry Smoothie (Printable)

Creamy summer blend of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries with almond milk and Greek yogurt — quick and nourishing.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled

02 - 1/2 cup blueberries

03 - 1/2 cup raspberries

04 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy milk)

05 - 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

07 - 1/2 cup ice cubes

01 - Add the hulled strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), and ice cubes to a high-speed blender.

02 - Blend on high speed for approximately 1 minute until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

03 - Taste the smoothie and add more honey or maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired, then blend briefly to incorporate.

04 - Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve right away for the best texture and flavor.

01 -

It takes exactly five minutes from refrigerator to glass, which means you have zero excuses for skipping breakfast.
The color alone is worth making it, a deep magenta that makes you feel like you are drinking something far more indulgent than a healthful blend of fruit and yogurt.

02 -

Frozen berries will give you a dramatically thicker smoothie, almost milkshake territory, which is incredible if that is what you are after.
A handful of spinach blends in completely invisible but turns the color a slightly murkier purple, so do not panic if it looks different than expected.

03 -

Freeze your overripe strawberries on a sheet tray before tossing them into a bag, and you will never need ice cubes again while achieving maximum berry flavor.
A pinch of salt sounds wrong in a smoothie but it amplifies the natural sweetness of the fruit in a way that will make you wonder why you never tried it before.
