    Ingredients & notes

    Please check the recipe card for full ingredient list and measurements

    ingredients listed to make mixed berry smoothie
    • Mixed berries- Most of the time I prefer to use fresh ingredients and so using fresh berries in this smoothie. But have tried with frozen berries medley from Costco which also worked beautifully for this recipe. I end up getting an ice cream like texture with frozen fruits.
    • Almond milk- It is already low in calories, dairy-free, light, and unsweetened. Any other plant-based milk will also work great. Coconut milk gives coconut flavor so use it if you prefer.
    • Banana- It works great to add sweetness to smoothies. I wanted to add whey protein but my berry smoothie was already enough sweet to my taste.
    • Chia seeds- It added some healthy fats plus chia seeds are filling. They keep you full for some time. Chia seeds are very healthy, and high in calories and fats. Since they absorb a lot of water and are fiber-rich, you feel fuller for longer time. Due to this consuming these magical seeds help you in weighloss as well.

    There is no hard n fast rule when it comes to measuring ingredients. Use any combination & proportions of berries and go ahead with the recipe.

    Mixed Berry Smoothie Variation

    There are a few more ways to make this breakfast berry smoothie, these options just add extra nutrients in addition to the original smoothie recipe.

    • Protein powder- You can add any protein powder as per diet restrictions. Which will add extra protein anywhere from 20 gram to 30 gram extra to this smoothie. My plain berry smoothie was already enough sweet due to which I skipped adding it. Just add 1 scoop of protein powder to make it a complete healthy breakfast smoothie.
    • Nut butter- Adding nut butter is a great idea for healthy fats. Which will make this smoothie Paleo & whole 30 approved.
    • Nuts- Cashew, almond, pistachio are good addition to it.
    • Sweetener- If you want to make a smoothie without adding a banana then add 3 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup or agave syrup. 2 teaspoon of stevia or monks fruit will also work.
    • Yogurt- You can add ⅓ cup of greek yogurt in place of almond milk to make it thick and get few grams of protein extra.
    • Spinach- To make it fiber-rich add 1 cup of spinach. However, my kids are fussy over the green color smoothies.
    • Seeds- Chia seeds, hemp seeds, & flax seeds are rich in omega-3, and other micro nutrients. So 1 tablespoon of these seeds will add extra nutrition.
    • Make it keto-friendly- Add ½ avocado to make it keto friendly.

    Tips & FAQ's

    • Use any combination of berries and any proportion of them. Berries taste great in both ways.
    • Add protein powder as per dietary restriction to get the max benefit from this smoothie.
    Can I use frozen berries in a smoothie?

    You can definitely use frozen fruits in smoothies. Using frozen fruits will make this berry smoothie, chilled, thick, and icy. Frozen fruits give an ice cream like consistency that you can eat with a spoon. With fresh berries, you get a thick, creamy, and smooth drinking consistency smoothie. You can always interchange fresh n frozen fruits in any smoothie.

    How many calories are in mixed berry smoothies with almond milk?

    Calories completely depend on the ingredients used in a smoothie. This mixed berry smoothie has 169 cal per serving.

    Why use almond milk in smoothies?

    Almond milk is plant-based milk that is made with almonds and water. It is dairy-free, vegan, low-calorie, and unsweetened. It is best to make smoothies because it gives a nice creamy texture.

    Is almond milk whole 30?

    Can I have almond milk on whole30? Is it whole30 approved? In whole30 dairy is ruled out but nut-based milk is approved if the ingredients are compliant. So yes almond milk is considered whole30.

    How to serve

    My favorite way is to consume it is as soon as the blender stops. Simply poured in glasses, garnish as per choice, and sip. You can serve it as a snack or a side along with grilled protein and roasted vegetables.

    How to store

    The final smoothie can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. Store in a glass jar with the lid and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. Just stir before serving. Note that fruits oxidate with time, that is why the best is to consume fresh.

    To save time you can add all the cut fruits in a zip lock bag in portions and store them in the freezer. Whenever required, just add frozen fruits along with other ingredients in the blender and blend. It is a great way while meals planning and ahead of time.
