How to Make the Recipe

Let’s walk through the steps together. This is so easy, even the kids can help!

1. Put all of the ingredients into your blender. Yep, it’s that simple. Add the vanilla yogurt, banana, frozen mixed berries, and milk to your blender. You can use any type of milk you like—dairy, almond, oat, or coconut. Whatever your preference!
2. Blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Turn on your blender and let it do the work. Make sure to blend until there are no chunks of fruit left. If you want a thicker smoothie, you can add a little more yogurt or even some Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
3. Pour into chilled glasses and serve cold. Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately. You can garnish with a few fresh berries or a sprinkle of granola on top for a little extra flair.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are a few tips to take your smoothie game to the next level:

• Use frozen berries for the best flavor. Frozen berries are picked at peak ripeness and have a more vibrant flavor than fresh berries. Plus, they help make the smoothie thicker and colder.
• Add a handful of spinach for a green smoothie. If you want to sneak in some extra greens, throw a handful of spinach into the blender. The sweetness of the banana and berries will mask the taste of the spinach completely!
• Experiment with different types of milk. Whether you prefer almond, oat, coconut, or good old-fashioned dairy milk, this smoothie works beautifully with any of them.
• Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. If you prefer your smoothies a bit sweeter, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup on top before serving.

How to Serve

Smoothies are super versatile, so here are a few ideas for how to enjoy yours:

• Serve as a quick breakfast on-the-go. Pour the smoothie into a reusable cup and take it with you on busy mornings.
• Pair with toast or a muffin for a filling breakfast. If you’re looking for something a bit more substantial, try pairing the smoothie with some whole-grain toast or a homemade muffin.
• Use as a healthy snack. Smoothies make a great midday snack that’s both satisfying and healthy.

Make Ahead and Storage

One of the best things about smoothies is that they can be made ahead of time. Here’s how to store yours:

• Make ahead and store in the fridge. You can make this smoothie up to 24 hours in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Just give it a quick stir before serving.
• Freeze for later. If you want to make a batch of smoothies for the week, you can pour them into ice cube trays and freeze. Simply thaw and blend when you’re ready for a quick meal or snack.

And there you have it, my friends! A simple, delicious, and healthy Creamy Banana Berry Smoothie that’s perfect for any time of day. Whether you’re looking for quick family dinners, easy pasta recipes, or just a quick pick-me-up, this smoothie is sure to become a favorite.
