Summer always brings on the desire to eat more fresh, healthy foods. Sweet, juicy berries are often at top of that list.
I love the combination of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. I’ve used combinations of berries in several recipes, including Mixed Berry Puff Pastry Tart and Mixed Berry Napoleon and they are all so delicious.
While on a major smoothie kick, I made this Mixed Berry Smoothie. It’s currently my favorite go-to breakfast for me and my oldest son.
Why This Recipe Works
This smoothie couldn’t be easier to make. Just throw everything into your blender and go! It literally takes just minutes.
This is a smooth and creamy beverage with just the right amount of fresh berry sweetness. It’s perfect for breakfast or a cool treat on a hot summer day.
It’s low in calories and has only 15 new carbs per serving.
How to Make a Mixed Berry Smoothie
What You Need To Make This Recipe
To make this recipe, you will need:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup fresh berries (I use a combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 1-2 cups of ice (depending on how thick you want your smoothie to be)
- 1 5.3 ounce cup of plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla)
Prep!
Wash the berries and pat dry.
Create!
Add the berries, yogurt, and milk to the canister of a blender.
Pulse a few times, then add the ice. Blend until smooth.
Present!
Pour the smoothie into two glasses.
Top with extra fresh berries, if desired.
Tips and Techniques
- Use fresh berries for the best results.
- You can use any combination of berries that you prefer. Just be sure to use a total of 1 cup of berries.
- Smoothies are best when consumed immediately, but you can freeze extra, if necessary.
FAQ’s
Can You Use Frozen Berries?
Yes. You can use frozen berries instead of fresh. When using frozen berries and ice, the smoothie may be too thick. You can add some water in place of some of the ice to get the consistency you prefer.
Can You Freeze Smoothies?
Yes. You can freeze leftover smoothie mixture. Allow it to thaw partially so that when you stir it, it has the ideal consistency and texture.

I used frozen blueberries, strawberries, cherries and banana. In place of milk & yogurt I used Ensure high protein nutrition drink, health issues. Your recipe gave me the idea to make this, so delicious.
Lisa says
super easy to remember the measurements for later and my 7yo LOVED this! His exact words were, “I could drink this thing for HOURS!”

Catherine Short says
I don’t tend to use protein powders in my smoothies because they often aren’t very “clean” or are far too sweet! I haven’t heard of Aloha before and I do love that they have individual packets.

These definitely weren’t too sweet – I had to add more berries to balance the flavors – you might like t his brand!

Ahh I would hate that too…I have a Ninja blender and it has a smaller smoothie cup so it blends everything really smooth thankfully!
Heather with WELLFITandFED says
I love this! Smoothies are my go to. I call it an “apothecary in a cup.” Great to get tons of protein, fibre and god fats all in a cup. Thanks for the share.
