Ingredients
All the components needed for this smoothie with frozen berries are common ingredients you can get at any grocery store at any time. You don’t have to worry about whether the fruit is in season because it’s frozen!
- Frozen berries: I use frozen blueberries and strawberries for this because they’re my favorite berries, and I love how they pair so well with the banana and yogurt. You can add these straight from the freezer! Feel free to use your faves instead!
- Banana: This adds a creaminess to the smoothie as well as natural sweetness. It enhances the berry flavor amazingly.
- Milk: I use skim milk for this to keep it healthy. Feel free to use 2% or whole milk if it’s what you prefer.
- Yogurt: I chose non-fat vanilla yogurt because the vanilla flavor just fits so well here. You can go with plain or Greek yogurt, too.
- Honey: A little sweetness brings everything together, and I love honey because it’s so much better for you than sugar!

Recipe Tips
- Storage directions: You may store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours in the fridge. Blend your leftovers with some ice cubes or a bit more frozen fruit to restore the consistency.
- Adjust the milk if needed: If you want a thinner smoothie, add more milk, and if you want a thicker one (or use it in a smoothie bowl), use a little less.
- Use any combination of berries: I love blueberries and strawberries, but you may use any kind you want. I even recommend picking up a bag of frozen berries and creating your own berry medley smoothie.

Recipe FAQs
Yes, but I recommend that you add some ice cubes as well, so you get the right consistency. Fresh fruit will make the smoothie much thinner than frozen fruit.
You can make it a few hours ahead, but fresh is best, so if you can make it right away, that would be a better choice!
I don’t recommend it because it separates as it thaws and becomes a bit watery. Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately.
