Strawberry Blackberry Smoothie Recipe

Strawberry Blackberry Smoothie

Wholesome Cove
This strawberry blackberry smoothie blends the natural sweetness of ripe strawberries with the deep, tangy flavor of blackberries into a thick, creamy drink that works for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up. Greek yogurt and almond milk give it enough protein to keep you full, while frozen berries create a milkshake-like texture without needing extra ice. Ready in under 10 minutes with one blender.

Equipment

  • High-speed blender - or regular blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Cutting board
  • Paring knife
  • Rubber spatula - for scraping down the blender jar
  • Glass mason jars - or glasses for serving
  • Reusable silicone straws - optional, if you want to skip plastic
  • Fine-mesh strainer - optional, for removing seeds

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries - 150g, hulled if fresh
  • 1 cup frozen blackberries - 140g
  • 1 ripe medium banana - peeled and broken into chunks
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk - 240ml, or milk of choice
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt - 120g
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey - to taste, plus 1 tablespoon extra if needed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds - optional
  • 0.5 cup ice cubes - only if using fresh fruit instead of frozen

For Serving (optional)

  • fresh strawberries - for garnish
  • fresh blackberries - for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pour the almond milk into the base of the blender jar before adding anything else.
  • Spoon in the Greek yogurt, then add the peeled banana chunks on top of it.
  • Add the frozen strawberries and frozen blackberries directly on top of the yogurt and banana.
  • Sprinkle in the chia seeds if using them, along with 1 tablespoon of honey.
  • Secure the lid and blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, stopping once to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula if needed. The smoothie is ready when there are no visible chunks of fruit and the texture looks thick and uniform.
  • Give the smoothie a quick taste before pouring. Add the remaining honey if it needs more sweetness, or a small splash of milk if it's thicker than you'd like.
  • Pour the smoothie into two glasses or mason jars right away. Add a straw and, if you want, a few whole berries on top for a nice presentation.

Notes

  • Use frozen fruit for a thicker, colder smoothie without diluting the flavor with ice.
  • Don't skip the banana - it's doing most of the work to create that creamy texture.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve if you don't like blackberry seeds.
  • Blend the liquid and yogurt first for a few seconds before adding frozen fruit, which helps the blender work less hard.
  • Taste before adding all the honey, since ripe berries are often sweet enough alone.
  • If your blender isn't high-speed, let frozen fruit sit for 5 minutes at room temperature before blending.
  • If the smoothie turns out too thick, thin it with milk rather than water so you don't dilute the flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours - shake or re-blend before drinking.
  • Freeze leftover smoothie in an ice cube tray, then blend the cubes with a splash of milk for a quick second batch.
  • For a dairy-free version, swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt and use oat milk instead of almond milk.
