Why You’ll Love This Banana Berry Smoothie
This smoothie is a vibrant mix of banana, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. The banana adds creaminess and natural sweetness, while the berries bring a tart, fruity punch. Use fresh or frozen fruit, depending on what you have on hand—either works well. Add a splash of milk and a drizzle of honey if you like it sweeter. It’s a great option when you’re short on time but want something filling and nourishing.
Tips for the Best Smoothie Texture
- Use frozen berries for a thicker, colder smoothie without watering it down.
- Add ice cubes if using fresh fruit.
- Blend until smooth, pausing to scrape the sides of your blender if needed.
- Taste before serving—adjust sweetness to your liking.
Make Ahead, Store, or Freeze
- Prep in advance: Peel bananas and portion out berries in freezer-safe bags. Store in the freezer and blend straight from frozen.
- Store leftovers: Keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but stir or shake before drinking as separation is natural.
- Freeze extras: Pour into popsicle molds or ice cube trays for a fun frozen treat or easy blending later.
