Perfect Berry Smoothie

The perfect berry smoothie is a balance problem solved: three berries for depth, banana for body, yogurt for tang, and just enough honey to round the tartness. Frozen fruit means it’s thick enough to hold a straw upright — no ice, no dilution.

Yield: 2 smoothies · Time: 5 min

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed berries (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry)
• 1/2 ripe banana
• 3/4 cup (180 g) Greek yogurt
• 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk of choice
• 1–2 tsp honey
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Optional: 1 tbsp ground flax

Directions

1. Blend the milk, yogurt, and banana first until smooth.
2. Add the frozen berries, honey, vanilla, and flax; blend on high until velvety.
3. Adjust: milk to loosen, a few more berries to thicken. Pour and drink cold.

Pro tip: Blending the liquid base first stops berry chunks from hiding under the blades.

Gluten-Free Notes

A quick label-reading reminder: scan ingredient lists for wheat, barley, rye, and malt, and look for a gluten-free claim on anything processed. When a label is unclear, the manufacturer’s website usually settles it.
