Perfect Berry Smoothie
"When you go to make a smoothie: does it turn out too icy and thick? Or too frothy and thin? Or bitter and tasteless? Here's the perfect berry smoothie: my answer to made-on-the-fly blender creations! After countless experiments in my kitchen, I finally cracked the code. This berry smoothie is frosty yet creamy, bursting with fruity flavor, and thick enough to feel substantial. I've made it so many times, and my kids request it constantly!"
"For this recipe, I was intentional in my ingredient selection to use healthy ingredients and no overly sugary juices. You'll also notice banana and yogurt: they're essential to getting just the right creamy texture for a smoothie. (Trust me, I've tried all the variations!) Here's what you need: Frozen mixed berries: You can use berries of any kind: I like to use that mix of blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries that's easy to find in the frozen section."
The recipe combines frozen mixed berries and banana with Greek yogurt, ice, milk, and a small amount of maple syrup, honey, or agave to produce a frosty yet creamy smoothie. Banana adds body and creaminess while Greek yogurt provides protein and probiotics. Ice makes the texture thicker and fluffier. Milk can be dairy, non-dairy, or even water for a lighter result. Substitutions include frozen mango or 1/2 cup oats with extra maple syrup for sweetness. The smoothie requires minimal preparation and yields a substantial, fruit-forward breakfast option that appeals to children.
