    Blackberries, strawberries, and bananas add vibrant colors and flavor to this smoothie. When fresh berries start to turn, pop them in the freezer to make smoothies.

    Today we used fresh berries, so we added a bit of ice to create that creamy texture. Enjoy this high-protein drink with the addition of protein powder and cashew butter. Protein powder is optional, of course.

    Our smoothies are made without yogurt for a dairy-free version. You will be amazed at how creamy this berry smoothie is!

    • Great snack for the kids. I will make a large batch of this smoothie because my toddlers always want a taste. A fantastic way to introduce nutrition into their diet.
    • A great use for frozen berries. I like to freeze my bananas, blackberries, and strawberries when they start to turn. Frozen fruit makes the best smoothies!

    How to make a blackberry strawberry banana smoothie

    Making this smoothie at home is so easy, here's how to make it.

    Almond milk, chia seeds, and protein powder in a blender.

    Step 1: In a high-speed blender, combine almond milk, chia seeds, cashew butter, maple syrup, and protein powder.

    Step 2: Place frozen or fresh berries and bananas on top. We like to keep the liquid on the bottom for easy blending.

    Blended blackberry, strawberry, and banana smoothie.

    Step 3: Blend on high for 45 seconds or until thick and creamy.

    Step 4: Pour smoothie into glass jars and garnish with chia seeds, berries, and mint.

    Smoothie combinations or add-ins

    • Avocado - ¼ of avocado can add healthy fats and creaminess
    • Oats - try using oat milk in place of almond milk for a different flavor
    • Greek Yogurt - adds more protein and creaminess
    • Protein Powder - pick your favorite flavor chocolate is delicious
    • Spinach - a great way to pack more healthy veggies into your diet
    • Orange Juice - high in sugar but so tasty in a fruit smoothie
    • Honey - a great alternative to maple syrup

    Equipment

    • Blender - We recommend Vitamix or Blendtec for the best results
    • Straws - Stainless steel or paper straws are great options
    • Mason Jars - great for storage and they look cool too

    How to save a smoothie for later

    1. Make a large batch of this smoothie and store it in 8-ounce glass jars with airtight lids. Mason jars work the best.
    2. Fill the glass jars to the top and secure them with a lid to limit air and prevent oxidation.
    3. Tip: Preserve the vibrant color by adding citrus juice to your smoothie.
    4. Refrigerate and consume within 1-2 days.

    Chef Tips

    • Place the liquid ingredients in the blender first to prevent the frozen fruit from getting stuck.
    • Play around with different types of milk. Almond milk is an excellent choice because the flavor is very neutral. Oat milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, and macadamia milk are great options. 
    • You may need to upgrade your smoothie blender. I only recommend Vitamix or Blendtec for smoothies. Other blenders don't seem to give you that smooth texture.
    • Turn your smoothies into popsicles for the kids. A great way to keep your kids healthy during the summer months. Here are the popsicle molds I use.
    • Transform this recipe into a smoothie bowl with your favorite topping or add-ins.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you put blackberries in a smoothie?

    Blackberries are delicious in smoothies! Make sure to add them frozen to create a creamy texture, or you may need to add ice cubes.

    Are smoothies healthy?

    It all depends on what you put inside them. Many smoothies contain a lot of sugar which makes them unhealthy. Pack your smoothies full of veggies, low-sugar fruits, and healthy fats.

    Are smoothies good for weight loss?

    Smoothies keep you full, aiding in weight loss. Be careful about how many calories you are putting into your smoothie. Avocados and almond butter pack a lot of calories.

    What should you not mix in a smoothie?

    Watermelon, canteloupe, and honeydew don't mix well with other fruits.
