I love making berry smoothie recipes. This mixed berry smoothie is one of my go-to’s and favorites. It only requires three simple ingredients, which I almost always have on hand. I love to keep frozen berries on hand to whip up delicious smoothie recipes on a whim.

I’ve mentioned it before, but my husband is the king at making smoothies. He’s normally the one who comes up with the different variations. Then I refine the smoothie recipe for the blog. We have been making this mixed berry smoothie flavor combo for years now.

In this post you will find all the information you need on how to make a berry smoothie.

Ingredients

Ingredients on marble countertop: frozen mixed berries, vanilla yogurt, and honey.

This smoothie recipe only includes a few ingredients. This Berry Smoothie without Banana is sweetened by the vanilla yogurt, honey, and natural sweetener from the fruit.

  • Yogurt – I like to use vanilla whole milk yogurt. But you can use Greek yogurt for a tangier smoothie or even a strawberry or blueberry yogurt to give additional berry flavor.
  • Mixed Berries – I love to use frozen berries so that way I don’t have to use ice.
  • Honey – My family prefers sweeter smoothies, so I almost always add honey to my smoothies.

Directions

Place the vanilla yogurt in a blender, followed by berries, and honey. *Always place the liquid or softer ingredients on the bottom of the blender. This will help prevent it from jamming and ensure it begins to puree immediately.

FAQs

What is the best liquid to put in a smoothie?

Options for liquids in smoothies include: milk, non-dairy milk’s like oat, almond, or cashew, coconut water, or juice. For added protein I like to use milk, which contain 8 to 10 grams per cup.

Are smoothies better with milk or juice?

You can use either milk or juice it’s all based on preference. Milk will yield a creamier smoothie and like mentioned above contains typically more protein.

Can you use frozen fruit in a smoothie?

I love to use frozen fruit in place of ice in smoothies. It chills the smoothie without adding additional liquid to the smoothie.

Is frozen fruit healthy?

When fruits and vegetables are picked at their ripest and frozen immediately they retain similar nutritional value that fresh fruits and vegetables have.

Tips & Tricks

Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks I’ve found helpful when making this recipe.

  • Frozen fruit – I love to use frozen fruit in smoothies instead of ice.
  • Dairy Free – Looking to have the same creamy texture without the dairy? You can add in a dairy free yogurt or even almond or oat milk. Just remember to use less liquid if opting for that.
  • Vegan Smoothie option – Omit the honey and replace with agave syrup. Also omit the dairy filled yogurt for a vegan friendly option.

    Hi Katie, I came across your post today . I had a bit of a giggle, as I’ve been making the exact same smoothie. The only difference is I use raw honey, I have to admit it’s one devine smoothie​ to drink. I also use frozen berry mix as I find it makes for a thicker consistently. Thank you

      Jennifer you just need to take the plunge and set aside a good half hour. Just force yourself to learn. That’s what I did! 🙂
