Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and ripe. Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cool running water.
- Peel the banana and cut it into chunks to help with easier blending.
- Place the mixed berries into the blender first, followed by the banana chunks.
- Add the yogurt to the blender, choosing plain or vanilla depending on your preference for sweetness.
- Pour in the fresh orange juice, which will help create a smooth liquid consistency.
- Sprinkle the flaxseeds on top of the other ingredients to ensure they are well incorporated during blending.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until all ingredients are completely smooth and well combined.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If too thick, add a little more orange juice. If too thin, add more frozen berries.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing equally.
- Optional: Garnish with a few whole berries or a small mint leaf on top for presentation.
- Serve immediately to enjoy maximum nutritional benefits and freshest taste.
Tips
- Use frozen berries for a thicker, more chilled smoothie that requires less ice.
- For added sweetness, choose ripe, in-season fruits or add a drizzle of honey.
- Invest in a high-powered blender to ensure a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Experiment with different yogurt types—Greek, regular, or plant-based—to find your perfect texture.
- Prep ingredients the night before to make morning blending a breeze.
- For extra nutrition, consider adding a handful of spinach or a scoop of protein powder.
- Always blend ingredients from softest to hardest to ensure smooth blending.
- Clean your blender immediately after use to prevent berry stains and residue.
