This mixed berry smoothie keeps things simple in the best way. Greek yogurt, frozen mixed berries, and almond butter are all you need to make a creamy, balanced smoothie in just a few minutes and it packs in 24 grams of protein without the need for protein powder! It’s fresh and filling without being heavy. I love it for lunch with granola on top, but it works just as well as a quick afternoon snack.

Tried & True Berry Smoothie

Not to be dramatic, but this smoothie really is near and dear to my heart. It’s one of my original recipes and has been on repeat since my college days. Through the CPA exam, my years in the corporate world, and now as something I still make at home at least once a week.

It’s a tried-and-true recipe that never gets old, made with just three simple ingredients and ready in minutes. The texture is thick and smooth without needing bananas or ice. And if you are a banana smoothie fan, you’ll definitely want to check out my banana bread smoothie too.

Greek yogurt makes the smoothie rich and creamy (plain or vanilla both work), frozen mixed berries keep it thick and chilled without ice, and a spoonful of almond butter adds just enough richness. Any nut or seed butter you love is an easy swap here.

Berry Smoothie Toppings

Smoothie toppings are my favorite way to level up the snack! Here are a few of favorites:

Ansley's Smoothie Blending Tips

  • Because we are blending up frozen fruit, you need something with a strong blade which is why I recommend a high speed blender like a Vitamix or Nutribullet.
  • Scrape down the sides of the blender a few times and continue to blend until the smoothie is running smoothly in the blender. There should be no big clumps.
  • This is a very thick smoothie so if your blender is having trouble blending it up, add a splash of milk to help thin it out a little.

Smoothie Variations

  1. Add a handful of spinach or kale for some added greens
  2. Bulk up the smoothie with fresh or frozen banana
  3. Add rolled oats and a splash of milk
  4. Throw in some flax seeds for added omega-3s

Mixed Berry Smoothie FAQs

Can I use fresh berries in this Berry Smoothie?

Fresh berries can be used in this smoothie recipe too but you will want to add a few ice cubes to help thicken it up and make it cold. Or wash and freeze fresh berries to make your own frozen berry blend for smoothies!

Can I Add Protein Powder?

The greek yogurt and nut butter add a healthy dose of protein to the smoothie already. But if you want to add more I recommend using a vanilla or non-flavored protein powder.

Can I Make This Smoothie Vegan?

Yes! Use a plant-based yogurt instead of greek yogurt. I like this greek-style vegan yogurt since it has a thicker consistency.

  • 2 cups greek yogurt

Instructions

  • Place the smoothie ingredients in a high-speed blender. 
    2 cups greek yogurt, 2 cups frozen mixed berries, 2 tablespoon almond butter
  • Blend on low-speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is running smoothly.
  • Increase the blender to medium-speed and let the blender run for about 30 seconds. Pour the mixture into glasses and enjoy!

Notes

Yogurt : If you like a thick and creamy smoothie, greek yogurt is your friend! I like to use 0% greek yogurt as the added nut butter will provide some healthy fats. However, 2% or 5% will work well too. If needed, substitute dairy-free.
Storing : This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh from the blender. However, if you would like to store it to enjoy later, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. I won't be as thick after doing this but will still be nice and chilled!
