Smoothies are my go-to breakfast when I'm in a rush or just want something quick and refreshing. This strawberry banana blackberry smoothie is the ultimate refreshing drink- it's packed with nutrient-filled fruits, creamy yogurt, and milk to make a smooth and delicious snack or meal.
With only 5 ingredients, this recipe takes less than 5 minutes to make and all you need is a blender! If you love fruity smoothies, be sure to try my Mango Strawberry Banana smoothie or my Banana Peach smoothie- they are both so good!
Recipe Ingredients
Here are some notes on a few ingredients- please see the full ingredient list in the recipe card below!
- blackberries- Frozen blackberries can be hard to find so you can use fresh and freeze them ahead of time or just use them fresh.
- strawberries- I use frozen strawberries but you can use fresh.
- banana- I keep a bag of frozen bananas in my freezer at all times for smoothies! Anytime my banannas start to get over-ripe, I just throw them in the freezer! Bananas are typically a base in all my smoothies. My favorite smoothie with a banana base is this Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter smoothie!
- milk- I use almond because that's what I typically drink, any milk will work! You could also use water or juice.
- yogurt- I used a vanilla greek yogurt, but any yogurt that you enjoy woulld be great in this smoothie. A strawberry, blackberry, or mixed berry flavored yogurt would taste great!
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Put the banana, strawberries, blackberries, and yogurt into the blender. I usually start with less milk and add more if needed, so start by adding ¼ cup. If you're not using frozen fruits, throw in a handful of ice cubes.
Step 2: Blend until smooth. Add more milk for a thinner smoothie, or ice cubes for a thicker smoothie.
Frequently Asked Questions
This smoothie makes 1 serving. You can double the ingredients to make 2 servings!
No, it does not. I just like using frozen fruit so it makes my smoothie creamier and cold without adding ice! If you use fresh fruits, you will need to add ice to make your smoothie the right consistency.
Yes! I always add protein powder to my smoothies to get some extra protein. I recommend adding your favorite vanilla protein powder. If you're looking for more protein-packed breakfast ideas, my protein overnight oats are my favorite!
Tips and Tricks
- Troubleshooting your smoothie- if your smoothie is too thick, add in a little more milk, water, or juice. If your smoothie is too thin, add in more frozen fruit or toss in a few ice cubes to thicken it up.
- Using a good blender will give you the creamiest smoothies, but it doesn't need to be super expensive/fancy! This is my go-to blender, I've had it for years now.
- Frozen bananas are (in my opinion) the best for smoothies. I sometimes buy an extra bundle at the store, bring them home and peel them to go right into the freezer. That way I always have a stash on hand for a quick smoothie or bowl!
- If your fruit wasn't frozen to begin with, just add some ice cubes to your smoothie.
- Make this into a smoothie bowl by using less milk (for a thicker consistency) and adding toppings like granola, chia seeds, sliced banana, strawberries, blackberries, shredded coconut, and drizzled peanut butter/almond butter. You could anything else you enjoy as well!
Storing & Freezing
Smoothies are best fresh right after blending them, but you can store them in an airtight jar in the fridge for 1-2 days. I would stir it up before drinking.
You can also freeze your strawberry blackberry banana smoothie. Place it in a freezer-safe jar like a mason jar, and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost it overnight by placing the smoothie in the fridge the night before you want to drink it.
