    Ingredients

    Here is everything you'll need to make this blackberry strawberry banana smoothie:

    ingredients to make a blackberry strawberry banana smoothie.
    • Frozen banana: Banana adds a wonderful creaminess to this smoothie. To freeze bananas, I like to peel them, cut into quarters, and freeze in a large plastic bag. With this method I add 4 banana quarters to this smoothie.
    • Frozen strawberries
    • Frozen blackberries
    • Milk of choice: Use more or less depending on your preferred thickness. I use unsweetened almond milk.

    Optional Ingredients

    Amp up the nutrition of this smoothie with any of your favourite add ins! Try some of these:

    • Yogurt: 1-2 large tablespoons
    • Protein powder: Chocolate or vanilla would taste great here!
    • Collagen powder
    • Chia seeds: Blend them in or sprinkle them on top. 1-2 tablespoons
    • Flax Seeds: 1-2 tablespoons
    • Spinach: 1 large handful
    • Nut butter: 1-2 tablespoons
    • and more!

    Substitutions

    There are many ways to change up this smoothie depending on your mood. Here are some substitution suggestions:

    • Banana. If you don't like banana in your smoothies, feel free to omit it and add about ½ cup ice. The smoothie will be less creamy and more icy, though.
    • Don't like blackberries? Use blueberries instead!
    • Milk. Any milk, dairy-free or not, will do. A fruit juice would also give nice flavour.
    • Add booze. 1-2 oz vodka or rum is my pick for a delicious frozen fruity cocktail!
    • Want a smoothie bowl? Reduce the milk to ½ cup. Use the tamper of your blender to mix and stir until smooth. Add a small amount more liquid if needed. Blending will take several minutes.

    (1) Add all ingredients to a high powered blender with a lid. Start on low speed and increase.

    How to Serve

    There are many ways to enjoy this blackberry strawberry banana smoothie. Here are some suggestions:

    • Enjoy as a healthy breakfast or snack on the go.
    • Make a blended cocktail by blending in 1-2 oz vodka or rum.
    • Enjoy at brunch with some homemade gluten-free English muffins, bagels, or banana chocolate chip muffins.

    Make Ahead & Storage

    Note that this smoothie recipe is best served and consumed fresh after preparing. It should not be made ahead of time, nor stored for later.

    For a Crowd

    If you're hosting a crowd of people, this recipe is easy to scale up (depending on your blender capacity). Double the recipe for two large smoothies or 4 smaller smoothies, as pictured here. Use your judgement on the amount of alcohol, if adding. Generally 1-2 oz per person.

    Expert Tips

    Here are some of my top tips and tricks for a successful smoothie:

    • Use only frozen fruit. This will result in the coldest, thickest, creamiest smoothie.
    • Add the liquid slowly. You can always add more to thin it out.
    • Use a high powered blender. My Vitamix is my baby! I love it so much. This is the model I have and it creates the smoothest smoothies.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this smoothie vegan?

    Yes! Because it just contains frozen fruit and your milk of choice, this blackberry strawberry banana smoothie can easily be made gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan.

    I don't like bananas. Can I still make this smoothie?

    If you don't like banana in your smoothies, feel free to omit it and add about ½ cup ice. The smoothie will be less creamy and more icy, though.

    Can I turn this into a smoothie bowl?

    Totally! Reduce the milk to ½ cup. Use the tamper of your blender to mix and stir until smooth. Add a small amount more liquid if needed. Blending will take several minutes.

    Equipment

    • High powered blender

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 frozen banana
    • ¾ cup frozen strawberries
    • ½ cup frozen blackberries
    • 1 cup milk of choice Use more or less depending on your preferred thickness. I use unsweetened almond milk

    Notes

    • Use Frozen Fruit: This smoothie will have the best texture if all fruit is previously frozen. To freeze bananas, peel them, cut into quarters, and freeze in a large plastic bag. With this method I add 4 banana quarters to one smoothie.
    • Additional nutrition: Add a handful of spinach, a scoop of protein powder, collagen powder, nut butter, chia seeds, or any other nutritional supplements to bulk up this smoothie.
    • Want a smoothie bowl? Reduce the milk to ½ cup. Use the tamper of your blender to mix and stir until smooth. Add a small amount more liquid if needed. Blending will take several minutes.
