Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 medium ripe banana
- ½ cup (120ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended, or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
- ½ cup (120ml) fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon (5g) chia seeds (optional)
- ½ cup (120ml) ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Wash fresh berries thoroughly or use frozen berries straight from the freezer.
- Peel and roughly chop the banana.
- Add mixed berries and banana chunks to the blender.
- Spoon in the Greek yogurt.
- Pour in the orange juice.
- Add honey or maple syrup if desired, sprinkle chia seeds if using, and add ice cubes for extra chill.
- Blend on low speed gradually increasing to high for about 45 seconds until smooth and creamy with no chunks.
- Check consistency and adjust by adding more orange juice or water if too thick, or more banana or yogurt if too thin.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe bananas and full-fat Greek yogurt for best creaminess. Frozen berries can be used for a colder smoothie but may require longer blending. Adjust liquid to achieve desired thickness. Let chia seeds swell for 5-10 minutes for better texture or blend thoroughly to avoid graininess. Store smoothie in fridge up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
