Two Key Ingredients

100% Fruit Juice: I love using bold, sweet pomegranate juice as the base in this berry smoothie because it enhances and naturally sweetens the berries' flavor. Other good options would be 100% grape juice or 100% apple juice.
Berries: For this smoothie, I find frozen berries are best, as they help the smoothie 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, and blend, a couple of tips will help you get the best results.

Add the juice first! Adding the juice first, before berries or any other ingredients, helps ensure the blades don't get stuck and your smoothie blends smoothly.
Thin as needed. If your berries aren't breaking down well, add 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 you don't serve it right after blending.

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. Be sure to remove the hard stems from kale or spinach, so the greens blend easily.
Ground Flaxseed: This is a totally optional ingredient, but it adds Omega Fatty Acids and extra fiber.
Yogurt: If you want to add calcium or protein to this Berry Smoothie, add up to ½ cup of plain Greek or regular yogurt before blending.
Sweetener: I typically find the berries add plenty of sweetness to this smoothie, so no additional sweetener is needed, even for the kids! However, if needed, feel free to drizzle in some honey or maple syrup before blending.
