Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Frozen mixed berries (like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries)
Banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)
Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Honey or maple syrup (optional)
Ice cubes (optional for extra chill or thickness)

Directions

I add the frozen berries, banana, and yogurt to the blender.
I pour in the milk and add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if I want it a bit sweeter.
I toss in a few ice cubes if I want a thicker, frostier texture.
I blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
I pour it into a glass and enjoy right away while it’s cold and refreshing.

Servings and timing

This smoothie makes about 1–2 servings. It takes only 5 minutes to make, which makes it one of my favorite grab-and-go options.

Variations

I sometimes add spinach or kale for a green boost—it blends right in without changing the flavor much. For extra protein, I mix in a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter. When I want it extra creamy, I swap in coconut milk or add avocado. A sprinkle of chia or flax seeds is another great way to bulk it up.

storage/reheating

I always drink this smoothie fresh, but if I need to store it, I keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I give it a good shake or stir before drinking. I never reheat it—it’s meant to be served cold. I’ve also poured leftovers into popsicle molds to make berry smoothie pops. Wild Berry Smoothie

FAQs

Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

Yes, I use fresh berries when they’re in season. I just add extra ice to thicken it and make it cold.

How do I make it vegan?

I use non-dairy yogurt (like almond or coconut) and plant-based milk. Maple syrup is a great vegan sweetener too.

What’s the best blender for smoothies?

Any blender works, but I find that high-speed blenders like a Vitamix or Ninja handle frozen fruit the best and give the smoothest texture.

Can I make smoothie packs ahead of time?

Definitely. I portion the fruit into freezer bags and keep them in the freezer. When I’m ready, I just add yogurt and milk and blend.

Is it okay to skip the banana?

Yes, I sometimes skip it or replace it with avocado, mango, or even more berries. It’s all about finding the texture and sweetness I like.

Conclusion

This wild berry smoothie is one of my favorite ways to enjoy a nutritious, energizing treat that’s both delicious and quick to make.
