Berry Smoothie Recipes

Smoothie recipes have so much potential! You can combine a wide variety of ingredients, add a splash of liquid, something frozen and something sweet and viola! You have yourself something magical and cool. Here are 2 berry smoothie recipes that are great for summer breakfast, lunch or snacks. Also- I have made a couple smoothies for dinners when I didn’t know what I wanted but had to eat something!

Ingredient Ideas

As I wrote in a previous post about my Green Smoothie recipe, there can be a lot of nutritional value to your smoothies. You don’t always have to go with the sweetest ingredients. But here is a quick list of things you might want to add to your next smoothie- fresh or frozen.

Produce	Other
Spinach	Greek yogurt
Bananas	Protein powder or shake
Avocados	Orange juice
Berries- I like Costco’s Triple Berry Blend	Coconut water
Strawberries	Milk
Mangos	Almond milk
Pineapples	Cold coffee
Watermelon	Regular yogurt or favorite yogurt
Peaches	Ice (but I don’t typically use ice)
Brocolli	Nut butters
Apples	Chia seeds

Triple Berry Smoothie Recipe

3 Easy Ingredients! The Premier protein shake makes this smoothie 32 oz total but I drink from a 16 oz cup. It’s sweet and delicious!

• 2 cups Triple berry blend form Costco
• 1 banana
• 1 Premier protein shake
• Makes 32 oz of smoothie, I drank a 16 oz cup

Blackberry & Honey Smoothie Recipe

Combine protein shake with Greek yogurt and whatever fresh berries you have in the fridge!

• 1/4 cup blackberries 
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 
• 2-3 tbs of honey (or to sweeten) 🍯 
• 3 tbs mixed nut butter 
• 1 cup of ice 🧊 
• ~1/4 cup of unsweetened, vanilla almond milk or milk of choice 🥛 

Green Smoothie with Spinach and Avocado

Sounds like it might be gross with the smoothie and strange bitter flavor that sometimes accompanies an avocado- but bananas are a great sweetener and mellows it out.

• 1 cup frozen spinach
• 1/4 cup orange juice 
• 1/4 cup yogurt
• 1 banana 
• Frozen berries or ice 
• 1/2 avocado
