Mixed Berry Smoothie – A quick, healthy, and easy on-the-go breakfast idea!
If you’ve ever struggled with getting a picky eater to get their recommended amount of fruits and veggies in a day, this Mixed Berry Smoothie recipe is the perfect solution.
It’s also a time saver for the mornings you’re running late and need something a little more nutritious than a muffin or a tall mug of coffee (no judgement, I enjoy both of those things!)
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1/2 frozen peeled banana
- 1/2 cup Greek vanilla yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons ground flax seed
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/2-3/4 cup skim milk
Instructions
- Put everything together in the blender.
- Blend until smooth
HOW DO YOU MAKE A BERRY SMOOTHIE TASTE BETTER?
The trick to an amazing tasting smoothie is finding the perfect balance of your favorite berries.
I buy a bag of frozen mixed berries for this. But if you like strawberries, and that is what you have on hand – go for it! If you use all strawberries it will be a much lighter color. The blueberries and raspberries give this a pretty dark color. In general, ripe fruit of any kind will be higher in naturally occurring fructose and provide the best flavors.
