Recipe Highlights

Two Key Ingredients

100% Fruit Juice: I love using bold, sweet pomegranate juice as the base in this berry smoothie, as it works to enhance and naturally sweeten the flavor of the berries. Other good options would be 100% grape juice or 100% apple juice.
Berries: For this smoothie, I find that frozen berries are best, as they will help the smoothie to become thick and creamy. You can use any blend of berries you like. smoothie. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and/or blackberries, are all delicious in this smoothie recipe.

Key Tips To Remember

While making a berry smoothie is as easy as measure, dump, blend, there are a couple tips to remember for the best results.

Add the juice first! Placing the juice in the base of the blender before adding berries or any additional ingredients will help to ensure the blades do not get stuck and your smoothie blend up smooth with ease.
Thin as needed. If you find your berries are not breaking down well in your blender, add in more juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, to help the smoothie come together.
Serve immediately. The ingredients in this berry smoothie will begin to separate if not served after blending together.

Make it Your Own

You really only need frozen berries and juice to make a delicious, creamy berry smoothie. But I often like to jazz up the flavor and boost the nutrients with optional additions. Pick and choose as you like, or stick with simple.

Greens: If you would like to add greens to your berry smoothie, Use fresh kale or spinach. Just be sure to remove the hard stems of kale or spinach so that the greens break down easily in the blender.
Ground Flax seed: This is a totally optional ingredient but it adds Omega Fatty Acids and additional fiber. Flax seed also is a healthy fat and in order to fully absorb nutrients from fruits and veggies, you need to pair them with fat.
Yogurt: If you want to add calcium or protein to this Berry Smoothie, add up to ½ cup of plain Greek or regular yogurt to the berry smoothie before blending.
Sweetener: I typically find the berries add plenty of sweetness to this smoothie, that no additional sweetener is needed, even for the kids! However, if needed, feel free to drizzle in some honey or maple syrup before blending.
