Berry Blast Smoothie
A smoothie is a great way to start your day. You can also enjoy a nutritious drink for a morning or afternoon snack.
Course Breakfast, Snack
Cuisine American
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any unsweetened non-dairy milk)
- 1 cup mixed berries (such as blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and/or strawberries)
- 1 banana, peeled
Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth. If smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid until you reach the desired consistency.
Yield: 1 serving (serving size: about 8 ounces or 1 cup)
- Your smoothie will taste best if either the berries or the banana is frozen. To freeze bananas, remove peels before placing in freezer. Put in a plastic zip-top bag until completely frozen. See my instructional video for help.
- To make this a “green” smoothie, add 1 cup of fresh spinach or kale leaves (stems removed from the kale).
- Add 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal for a fiber boost.
- Increase protein content by adding plant-based protein powder.
- Not a fan of bananas or are allergic to them? Add 1/2 avocado instead.
