4.2 from 73 reviews

A refreshing and nutrient-packed mixed berry smoothie blending frozen berries, spinach, almond butter, and Greek yogurt into a creamy, delicious drink perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.

  • Total Time: 7 minutes
  • Yield: 1 smoothie (about 16 ounces)

Ingredients

Fruits

  • ½ cup frozen blackberries
  • ½ cup frozen raspberries (or substitute strawberries)
  • ¼ cup frozen blueberries (wild blueberries preferred)
  • 1 frozen ripe banana

Greens & Seeds

  • 1 to 2 cups organic spinach
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal or hemp hearts

Nut Butters & Dairy

  • 1 tablespoon almond butter (or your favorite nut butter)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (whole or 2%)
  • ½ cup milk of choice, plus more as necessary

Optional Additions

  • 1 scoop protein powder (such as collagen peptides)

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Gather all your frozen fruits, spinach, flaxseed meal or hemp hearts, almond butter, Greek yogurt, milk, and optional protein powder to have everything ready for blending.
  2. Combine in blender: Add all ingredients to a large high-powered blender, starting with frozen fruits, then spinach, nut butter, flaxseed meal, Greek yogurt, milk, and protein powder if using.
  3. Blend thoroughly: Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until all ingredients are smoothly combined and the texture is creamy without chunks.
  4. Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk as needed and blend again briefly to achieve your desired consistency.
  5. Serve immediately: Pour into a glass and enjoy your nutrient-rich mixed berry smoothie fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use wild blueberries if possible for enhanced flavor and antioxidants.
  • Substitute raspberries with strawberries if preferred.
  • Choose the type of milk based on dietary needs or taste preferences (dairy or plant-based).
  • Protein powder is optional; collagen peptides add protein without altering flavor significantly.
  • Adjust spinach quantity according to your taste preference—start with less if new to green smoothies.
  • Adding a frozen banana improves sweetness and texture, but ripe fresh banana can be used if frozen is not available.
  • Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest texture.
