Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 6 large strawberries (fresh preferred; frozen is OK)

Liquids

  • 1/2 cup coconut water (or milk of choice)

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

Optional

  • 1 Tablespoon honey, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all fruits, liquids, yogurt, and optional honey. Make sure berries are fresh or frozen as preferred.
  2. Add to Blender: Place raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, coconut water, and vanilla Greek yogurt into a powerful blender in the order listed.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for at least 3 minutes or until the mixture is completely smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure even blending.
  4. Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: If the smoothie is too thick, add more coconut water to reach desired consistency. Taste the smoothie and add honey if needed for extra sweetness, usually about 1 tablespoon.
  5. Serve and Store: Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Store any leftover smoothie covered in the refrigerator for up to 8-10 hours.

Notes

  • Special Tools: Use a strong, powerful blender to effectively blend frozen berries.
  • For Thick Smoothies: If using all fresh fruit, add a handful of ice to achieve a thick texture since frozen berries naturally thicken the smoothie.
  • Coconut Water Substitute: If coconut water is unavailable or not preferred, use milk or coconut milk instead for a creamy texture.
  • Yogurt Variations: Nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt is preferred, but low-fat or full-fat options work well. You can use plain or any flavored yogurt that complements the berries.
