Ingredients You’ll Need
- Banana – You’ll need a ripe banana, which adds some natural sweetness and adds to the creaminess of the smoothie.
- Mixed Berries – I used a mixture of frozen blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries to add delightful fruity flavor. Fresh berries are another option if you like.
- Almond Milk (Unsweetened) – I choose a dairy-free option to thin out the smoothie. Feel free to use regular milk, coconut milk, soy milk, rice milk, or even other liquids like orange juice or coconut water.
- Greek Yogurt – Gives it a super creamy texture! Be sure to use plain yogurt which doesn’t have any added sugar or flavoring. Use coconut yogurt to make the recipe plant-based.
- Honey – Adds just a touch of sweetness. Agave and maple syrup are other good choices.
- Vanilla Extract – Just a dash elevates all the fruity flavors and melds them with the yogurt.
This recipe is a cinch! Just gather all the ingredients, pop them into the blender, and voila! You have a yummy and healthy breakfast ready to go!
Make The Smoothie
To begin, grab your blender! Next, add the banana, frozen berries, unsweetened almond milk,
plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. But make sure to slice your banana before tossing it in, which helps to speed up the blending time.
Next, turn on the blender and puree the mixture together. You’ll most likely need to pause the blender a few times and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides. After you’re done blending your smoothie it should be a smooth and creamy consistency.
Serve And Enjoy
Now, pour the breakfast smoothie into your favorite glass or travel cup and serve it immediately to enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I add to my smoothie?
Feel free to be as creative as you like! Some great options are leafy greens, avocado, other fruits like mango, protein powder, and nut butters like peanut butter or almond butter. You can also sprinkle in seeds like chia or flax seeds for a boost of fiber and texture. Just keep in mind you may need to adjust the amounts to achieve your desired consistency.
Can I make this smoothie without a blender?
Yes! While a blender is the most convenient choice, you can also use a food processor or an immersion blender. It will just take a little longer to blend the smoothie.
Can I make this smoothie vegan?
Yes! Just use agave in place of the honey and a plant-based yogurt to make the recipe.
Can I add ice cubes to make the smoothie colder?
Yes! Yet, adding ice can water the smoothie down and dilute the taste. So just be mindful of how much you add.
Expert Tips
- Use frozen berries. Fresh berries work, but frozen berries help to keep the smoothie cold and creamy by eliminating the need to add ice, which can dilute the smoothie.
- Adjust the consistency. To make a thicker smoothie or smoothie bowl just add less almond milk. To make it thinner just add more.
- Add toppings and texture. Sprinkle some granola, toasted oats, chia seeds, or toasted coconut flakes on top of your breakfast smoothie for added texture and another layer of flavor.
- Make smoothie popsicles. Pour any leftover smoothie into popsicle molds to make a nutritious tasty snack for the next day.
Storage
Any leftovers will keep in the fridge for about 24 hours. It’s also possible to store the smoothie in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container.

Tips & Notes:
