Ingredients
- ½ cup (75 g) strawberries — fresh or frozen
- ½ cup (75 g) blueberries — fresh or frozen
- ½ cup (60–70 g) raspberries — fresh or frozen
- ¾ cup (170 g) plain Greek yogurt (use dairy-free yogurt for vegan)
- ½ cup (120 ml) almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 scoop (≈25 g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder — optional
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup — optional, to taste
- 4–6 ice cubes (omit if using fully frozen fruit)
- Optional add-ins: 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp almond butter, or ¼ banana for extra creaminess
Instructions
- Add liquid first: Pour ½ cup almond milk into your blender (this helps blades move freely).
- Layer remaining ingredients: Add Greek yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and protein powder (if using).
- Sweeten & chill: Add honey or maple syrup if you want extra sweetness, plus ice cubes if desired.
- Blend: Start on low, then blend on high for 30–45 seconds or until smooth and creamy. Pause and scrape down sides if needed.
- Adjust consistency: If too thick, add 1–2 tbsp more milk and blend briefly. If too thin, add a few frozen berries or an extra ice cube and re-blend.
- Serve: Pour into a glass, garnish with a few whole berries or a mint sprig, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Vegan / Dairy-Free: Use plant-based yogurt (coconut or almond) and plant protein powder.
- Thicker smoothie: Use frozen berries or add ¼–½ banana, 1 tbsp oats, or 1 tbsp chia seeds.
- Higher protein: Add an extra ½ scoop of protein powder or 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (increase total protein).
- Make-ahead: Store in an airtight jar in the fridge up to 24–48 hours; shake or re-blend before drinking.
