🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
Gather your ingredients: You'll need 1 cup of mixed berries (fresh or frozen), 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (or your favorite non-dairy alternative), 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy), and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness).
Prep the berries: If using fresh berries, give them a good wash. If using frozen berries, no need to thaw them.
Combine in a blender: Add all the ingredients to a blender. Make sure the lid is on tight—we don't want any smoothie explosions!
Blend until smooth: Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust: Give the smoothie a taste. If you like it sweeter, add a little more honey or maple syrup. If you want more minty flavor, add a few more mint leaves and blend again.
Pour and enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a few fresh berries and a sprig of mint. Sip and savor the deliciousness!
Optional additions: Feel free to add a scoop of protein powder, a tablespoon of chia seeds, or a handful of spinach for an extra boost of nutrients. You can even try adding a splash of lime juice for a tangy twist.
📝 Notes
For a thicker smoothie, use frozen berries.
Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
