5-Ingredient Banana And Berry Smoothie

Author: Jessica Haggard
Five ingredients go into this berry smoothie: mixed berries, banana, milk, and not much else. Creamy, cold, and thick enough that it never tastes like a compromise.

Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ cup milk or dairy-free alternative like nut, oat or coconut milk
  • 1 medium banana
  • 1 cup strawberries fresh
  • 1 cup blackberries fresh
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the berries and remove any stems.
  • Peel the banana and break into 4 pieces. Add these to a blender cup.
  • Add the berries and milk to the blender and blend until smooth.
  • Garnish with an optional strawberry and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Start with less milk and add more as needed for your preferred consistency.
  • Depending on the ripeness of your fruits, you might not need sweetener - but a drizzle of honey or maple syrup can boost flavor if needed.
  • If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more milk. If it’s too thin, add more frozen fruit or ice.
  • Pour any leftover smoothie into ice cube trays - blend them later for a quick fix or toss into new smoothies.
Serve: Pair the smoothie with a warm slice of bread or eggs for breakfast.
Store: To make your smoothie ahead, blend all the ingredients as usual and pour the smoothie into an airtight container or mason jar. Store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as some separation is natural.
