A quick and easy fruit smoothie made with frozen berries, banana, Greek yogurt, and orange juice. Perfect for a refreshing and nourishing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • ½ cup (120ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup (120ml) orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 34 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: Measure out 1 cup (150g) of frozen mixed berries, peel and slice 1 medium ripe banana, and scoop ½ cup (120ml) of Greek yogurt.
  2. Add frozen berries to the blender. If using fresh berries, add a handful of ice cubes for a frosty texture.
  3. Layer the banana slices on top of the berries in the blender.
  4. Pour in the Greek yogurt.
  5. Pour in the orange juice.
  6. Add optional sweetener (honey or maple syrup) if desired.
  7. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
  8. Check consistency and adjust by adding more juice or ice cubes if too thick, then blend briefly again.
  9. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use frozen berries for a frosty texture without watering down the smoothie. Avoid over-blending to prevent heating and texture changes. Adjust liquid gradually to get the perfect consistency. Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge up to 24 hours with stirring before drinking. For vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and orange juice with almond milk or apple juice.
