Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups mixed berries (frozen works best for thickness; use a mix of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
  • 3/4 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt for extra protein; dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 small banana (optional, for added creaminess and sweetness)
  • 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional, brightens the flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional, for fiber and omega-3s)
  • 2–3 ice cubes (optional, if using fresh berries)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)

Method
 

  1. Add liquids first: Pour the milk into the blender. This helps the blades catch and blend smoothly.
  2. Layer the rest: Add yogurt, berries, banana (if using), lemon juice, seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Sweeten lightly: Add honey or maple syrup if your berries are very tart. Start small—you can always add more.
  4. Blend until creamy: Start on low, then increase to high. Blend for 30–45 seconds, or until the texture is smooth and thick.
  5. Adjust texture: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes or extra frozen berries and blend again.
  6. Taste and tweak: Add another squeeze of lemon or a touch more sweetener if needed.
  7. Serve right away: Pour into a chilled glass for the best texture and flavor.
