Nothing brilliant or fancy here, just 6 easy ingredients. And—surprise—a banana is not one of them! Bananas are pretty common in smoothies (and a key ingredient in my favorite green smoothie) so if you’re not a fan OR are allergic to bananas, this is your power smoothie.
Tell Me About this Berry Purple Power Smoothie
Texture: Thick and creamy. Flavor: The berries are bold and center. Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, with a subtle hint of coconut. Ease: You’re simply going to blend, taste, then blend again. Time: Smoothies are always pretty quick. Set aside about 5-10 to gather your ingredients and make the smoothie.
Choosing the Right Ingredients
This berry smoothie recipe is forgiving—you can mix up frozen and fresh berries, choose a flavored yogurt, add honey if desired, and substitute milk (dairy or nondairy) for coconut water. Play around with the ingredients and get it exactly to your liking.
Best Blender to Use
To process frozen fruits (berries) into a smooth consistency, you need something high-powered. This blender is a favorite option for smoothies. And if you have a Ninja Chopper, which also works as a blender, that works too.
