Flavor-Packed Fruit Smoothies

This creamy banana berry smoothie is delicious and oh-so refreshing! It’s easy to make and only needs a few ingredients. So I’d call this one a win!

You can also use either fresh or frozen fruit. I prefer frozen because it adds body to the smoothie without watering it down. Plus you don’t have to wait for the fruit to be in season.

Ingredients

You only need 4 ingredients to make these delicious smoothies:

• Plain yogurt
• Banana
• Frozen mixed berries
• Milk

You can use whatever type of milk you prefer. I happened to have almond milk on hand. So that’s what I used. In the past, I’ve used cow’s milk and coconut milk. They’re all good, so you can’t go wrong, regardless of which one you use.

I like to use frozen fruit for the frozen-but-creamy texture of the smoothie. When I use fresh fruit, I add ice. Although that waters it down a bit, it’s still good.

Directions

It is so easy to make these smoothies you’ll think you’re doing something wrong. All you have to do is toss all of the ingredients into your blender.

Then turn it on and let the blender do the work. I started with it on the lowest setting and worked my way up to the highest. It took about a minute. If you want more than 2 smoothies, simply double the recipe … that is, if your blender is big enough. Or make them in batches.

More Fruit Smoothie Recipes

On occasion, I’ll add something green, but that always dulls the bright colors of the berries. So I rarely do that if I’m making it for other people. Some smoothies have a bunch of ingredients. But this orange smoothie only requires 3 things … although you can add more.

If you want to enhance the orange color, add carrots to the blender. Or if you want it a deeper red-orange, toss in a couple of strawberries. One of the things I sometimes put in this is either vanilla-flavored protein powder or flavorless collagen powder.

Since I love smoothies so much, I’ve posted other recipes. They’re all good, and since we can access fruit at any time of year, everything is easy to find.

One of them is my delicious coffee peanut butter smoothie. This is the perfect breakfast drink if you’re in a hurry and have to bring it with you.

Another one we like is this watermelon lemon smoothie. It’s so refreshing and something the whole family will enjoy. We also look forward to this lemonade smoothie. It puts a delightful twist on a favorite summer drink. You’ll feel like you’re on a tropical vacation when you sip on this delicious pineapple smoothie.

Kid Friendly Smoothies

When your kids need a treat, make them a berry smoothie. They have the sweetness the kids crave, and they’ll give them the energy to do the things they enjoy!

I made them for my daughters, and now my older daughter makes smoothies for her children. I’m happy to know she enjoyed it enough to continue with this healthy tradition.
