This antioxidant berry smoothie is a delicious and healthy drink made from a blend of berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. The berries are combined with almond milk to create a creamy and smooth texture. Antioxidants, such as vitamin C, help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals, and the high fiber content of the berries can aid digestion and keep you feeling full for longer. This smoothie is a convenient and tasty way to get a healthy boost and is perfect for breakfast on the go or as a mid-day snack.
You can easily add a scoop of protein powder or oats to increase the protein and carbs and make this smoothie a great post-workout snack. Feel free to use your choice of berries. Some great choices would be blackberries and raspberries. The options are endless for this antioxidant berry smoothie.
Tips for Making Smoothies
- Use frozen fruit: Using fresh fruit is perfectly fine. However, frozen fruit will make your smoothie thicker and eliminate the need to add ice. Sometimes ice is hard for blenders to handle, and frozen fruit is frozen at peak ripeness, which will help achieve maximum flavor.
- Make smoothies in larger batches for meal prep: You can make this berry smoothie in bulk and keep it frozen for up to 3 months when you’re ready to drink it, either take it out the night before and let it defrost in the refrigerator or place it in the blender and break it up to reblend it.
