Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries – fresh or frozen)
- ½ banana (for natural sweetness)
Seeds & Spices
- 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Dairy & Liquids

- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or water
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Place all the ingredients—mixed berries, banana, chia seeds or flaxseed, Greek or plant-based yogurt, lemon juice, cinnamon, almond milk or water, and ice cubes—into a blender container.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until it becomes smooth, creamy, and evenly mixed without chunks.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk or water gradually and blend again until desired thickness is reached.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste and best texture.
Notes
- Use frozen berries to achieve a thicker and colder smoothie texture without adding ice.
- Adding cinnamon not only enhances flavor but also may provide additional metabolism benefits without extra sugar.
- For a more substantial meal replacement, incorporate a scoop of protein powder of your choice.
