Ingredients

  • Banana – Frozen banana creates the perfect base for this recipe. 
  • Berries – Use fresh mixed berries such as raspberries, blueberries and blackberries for the smoothie as well as the garnish. I used fresh berries, but you can also use frozen berries for the smoothie. 
  • Milk – I used Fairlife milk for added protein. You may also use a nondairy milk such as oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or soy milk. 
  • Yogurt – I used Greek yogurt. 
  • Honey – You may also use agave or maple syrup as a sweetener.

The best high-speed blenders

We have tested many high-speed blenders. My favorite is my Vitamix blender. My favorite (more affordable) option is this Ninja blender.

Instructions

In a blender, combine frozen banana, milk, yogurt, berries and honey. Blend until smooth.

Pour into a cup and top with more berries as garnish (optional). Add a straw and enjoy immediately.

Tips for Making

  • Healthy Additions – Chia seeds, granola, collagen powder.
  • Sweetness – Add another sweet frozen fruit, such as mango if you want a sweeter flavor.
  • Nut Butter – A scoop of peanut butter or almond butter is a great way to add healthy fat to this recipe. It will taste like a pb&j sandwich. 
  • Hemp Seeds – Adding a tablespoon of hemp seeds is a great way to boost healthy fats, omegas and minerals in your drink. 
  • Greens – Adding a couple handfuls of spinach or kale may make the color less appealing, but will give a nice nutrition boost to this recipe.
  • Liquid – If you don’t want to use milk in your smoothie, you can use apple juice or any juice you love.
