🧾 Ingredients For Triple Berry Smoothie Recipe

• 1 cup frozen strawberries

• ½ cup frozen blueberries

• ½ cup frozen raspberries

• 1 banana (for creaminess & sweetness)

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

• ½ cup Greek yogurt (optional for protein)

• 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• 2–4 ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients to a blender in this order: almond milk, yogurt, banana, berries, sweetener, and extras.

2. Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.

3. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness if needed.

4. Pour into a glass, add a few fresh berries on top if desired, and enjoy immediately!

🍓 Notes:

• You can use fresh berries, but frozen helps thicken and chill the smoothie without needing extra ice.

• Swap banana with ½ avocado for a lower-sugar, creamier option.

• For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt or omit yogurt entirely.

💡 Tips:

• Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.

• Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner smoothie or ice for a thicker one.
