Mixed Berry Smoothie

This simple mixed berry smoothie recipe is healthy, creamy, totally delicious, and has no added sugar! Naturally sweetened and full of antioxidants, this refreshing drink makes the perfect quick breakfast or afternoon snack. All you need is 2 ingredients and 5 minutes and you’ll have this easy smoothie ready in no time!

I love whole fruit juices and smoothies. I also love that smoothies made with fruit don’t really need any additional / added sugar – because fruit is already so naturally sweet!

Smoothies are also an easy way to get your daily servings of fruits and vegetables – it’s like a little mini-meal when made correctly. And this healthy mixed berry smoothie is no exception! It’s one of those simple smoothie recipes that’s super customizable and totally satisfying too!

Most smoothies that you’d get at a restaurant have tons of unhealthy sugary additives (frozen yogurt or fruit juice like orange juice or apple juice are common) – which you really don’t need to make smoothies taste good. I like making frozen fruit smoothies at home, because then I can control the sugar, and the frozen fruit makes it super creamy and indulgent.

Thanks to using frozen berries, all you need is 5 minutes to make this super healthy frozen berry smoothie recipe – which is a great option for breakfast or or a healthy snack. You won’t be able to get enough of this tasty and sweet mixed berry shake!

???? Ingredients

This mixed berry smoothie ingredients list couldn’t be any simpler! You can make this 2 ingredient smoothie with basically no prep time! Here’s what you need:

• Frozen Berries: I used a mixed berry medley that had blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries, but you can use your favorite berries – frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, etc. – pretty much any combination of berries that you like. You can also use fresh berries, but then you will need to add ice cubes.
• Milk: You can use any kind of milk you like in this frozen mixed berry smoothie! You can also use almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, regular low fat dairy milk, or another dairy-free milk alternative. If you use a plant based milk, make sure it’s unsweetened – you want to choose a milk that has only 0-1 gram of sugar and 100 calories for 1 cup. Using regular organic 1% milk makes this drink even sweeter and tastes just like a milkshake! This is a mixed berry smoothie without yogurt – but if you don’t have milk (or don’t like milk), you can use plain yogurt instead of milk for a thicker berry yogurt smoothie!
• Optional Added Sweetener: This smoothie with frozen berries is pretty sweet on its own, but if your berries happen to be especially tart, feel free to add a dash of your choice of sweetener before serving. Honey, agave, maple syrup, monk fruit and stevia are all great options. You can also add ripe bananas, vanilla extract, or even medjool dates for more sweetness (just make sure to re-blend after adding any sweetener so it gets combined well).

???? Instructions

This berry blend smoothie recipe literally has just 2 steps! All you need is a blender (or a hand blender). Here’s how to make a simple berry smoothie:

Dump & Blend! Add the milk to a blender, then add the frozen berries. Puree until smooth and creamy. You can also use a hand blender if you have one at home.

Serve: Add sweetener to taste (optional). Blend a few more seconds to combine. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with fresh herbs or fresh berries. Serve this triple berry smoothie recipe immediately!

???? Expert Tips

• Use a frozen berry mix for ease of use, and also to create a thick and cold texture.
• Make sure you’re using a high powered blender. You want a blender that will pulverize the seeds of the berries, so you end up with a super smooth texture (and not a strawberry blueberry raspberry smoothie filled with seeds!)
• Add the milk first, followed by the frozen fruit. This helps to keep the fruit from getting stuck on the bottom of the blender. Feel free to add more milk as needed – you want enough liquid so that your smoothie is easy to drink but not too thick or thin.
• You can make this recipe ahead of time and store it for 24 hours in the fridge. If you do meal prep this very berry smoothie without yogurt, make sure to stir it well before serving. I don’t recommend freezing this smoothie, especially if you use dairy milk or add Greek yogurt, as the consistency will change once it’s defrosted.
• This is a one serving smoothie recipe, but you can easily double or triple it if you’re making it for the whole family! Just make sure your blender is big enough to accommodate!

???? Variations

• Use Fresh Berries: Instead of using a frozen berry medley use your own blend of your favorite fresh berries (or fresh + frozen mixed). For the highest antioxidant boost use fresh raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. You will also need to add a half cup of ice to achieve a thick cold texture if you use fresh berries.
• Try Different Fruits: Diced apples, diced pears, fresh pineapple or frozen mango would all taste great in this recipe! You can even make a mixed berry banana smoothie by just adding in frozen banana along with the berries.
• Easy Mixed Berry Smoothie Bowl Recipe: Pour this drink into a bowl and top it with sliced bananas, oats, coconut, nuts, seeds, granola, fresh berries, honey, maple syrup, or whatever you have on hand to take this berry medley smoothie recipe to the next level.
• Different Type of Plant-Milk: There are so many varieties of plant-milk on the market today. From soy, rice, almond, cashew, coconut, and oat milk. Use your milk of choice, just keep in mind the nutritional information will change depending on the milk you use. There will also be a slightly different flavor depending on the milk you choose, for example coconut milk will have a mild coconut flavor. When choosing your plant-milk, just be sure to choose one that has no added sugar.
• Add a Boost of Protein: Make a mixed berry protein smoothie by adding a scoop of your favorite sugar free plant based protein powder. For extra protein, you can also add 1/2 cup or more of plain Greek yogurt (I don’t recommend vanilla Greek yogurt, as that has too much added sugar).
• Healthy Fats: Feel free to add your favorite nut butters or seeds like almond butter, peanut butter, hemp seeds, chia seeds, or flax seeds. You’ll get both healthy fats and added protein!
• Kids Berry Smoothie With Milk: Depending on how old your kids are, they might like a slightly sweeter smoothie or a slightly thinner smoothie. Adjust the milk to make it thinner or thicker, and instead of adding honey or maple syrup (added sugars) to make it sweet, I recommend trying bananas, mangoes, or dates instead!
• Extra Greens: To get your serving of veggies and fruits for the day, feel free to add fresh spinach or baby kale to this frozen berry smoothie with milk. The greens are a great way to get some extra fiber too!
