Berries n’ Yogurt Smoothie

Finally sharing my son’s favorite BERRIES N’ YOGURT SMOOTHIE!

If you follow my Instagram Stories, you know that my son starts every school day with a smoothie. It’s part of an easy but hearty breakfast that gets him through a long day of school + after school commitments.

This is a typical photo, me holding the smoothie out our back door patio early morning.

My son loves this smoothie so much that sometimes he’ll have a second one at the end of the day!

He loves that they are satisfying and yummy, I love that they are nourishing and replenishing!

It’s probably one of my most requested recipes… and the funny thing is, I do it by feel and it varies a little each day, depending on what frozen and fresh fruit I have available.

But, because you asked so often, I measured and re-measured to write down a proper recipe.

And it is EASY and adaptable to tastes or availability of fruit.

Here are the basics…

The smoothie is made with frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries or blackberries, plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt), fresh berries and a splash of orange juice.

And you can see by this collage below that each smoothie looks a little different depending on the mix of fruit and the mix of fresh and frozen fruit.

Even adding a bit more or less yogurt or orange juice will affect the texture.

I don’t do a lot of add-ins, day to day, but if we make a second one later in the day, sometimes we’ll add in a frozen acai packet, switch up the fruit use a banana or even a handful or two of spinach.

As long as you follow a general rule of thumb of 2-3 cups fresh and frozen fruit, you can really adapt to taste and availability of fruit.

The second most common question is what blender to we use?

For these daily smoothies, we use a NutriBullet (amazon affiliate link).

We purchased a NutriBullet this Summer after sharing a vacation house with my parents and brother’s family, both of whom owned a NutriBullet and made daily smoothies for us all!

We love that is doesn’t take up a ton of space and is portable but really powerful! It easily blends all the frozen fruit!

The key to any blender is to follow the blender instructions. With the NutriBullet, the blade is attached to the blender cover and you fill the blender, cover it and flip it over…

So we load the ingredients, frozen first. Then when it is turned over and put on the blender, it blends the fresh, then frozen fruit giving a perfect smoothie every time!

So cheers to the day and the easiest and yummiest smoothie!

Hope you love it as much as we do!
