Ingredients for banana berry smoothie:

All the ingredients required to make this banana berry smoothie are tasty and healthy. Here are the ingredients that you need to make a delicious and perfect smoothie.

Berries (one cup):

For the creamy texture of banana berry smoothie, you should take frozen berries. A mixture of berries can be taken for this purpose. I am using blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries.

Banana (two):

Take a frozen banana to make a thick and creamy smoothie. But if you want a normal smoothie to drink then fresh bananas can be used. Use peeled banana to make the berry banana smoothie.

Yogurt (half cup):

Take Greek yogurt as a source of protein. Prefer to use plain yogurt instead of flavored yogurt. Because bananas and berries are enough for sweet taste and flavor.

Milk (three cups):

You can take dairy milk and can also take vegan milk. I prefer plain vanilla almond milk or coconut milk as a substitute. Oat milk can also be taken for this.

Ice cubes:

Ice cubes are needed to chill the delicious and creamy smoothie.


Instructions to make banana berry smoothie:

  1. Take the frozen berries and add them in a blender. Further add the milk, banana slices, and Greek yogurt. 
  2. Blend all the ingredients well to get a smooth and delicious smoothie.
  3. Take a glass and add ice cubes to it. Then pour the refreshing smoothie into glasses. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and almonds over the smoothie. It will enhance the nutritional content of the smoothie and make it more attractive.


Tips to make perfect banana berry smoothie:

  • If you want to make your smoothie more rich in protein then add protein powder in the blender. In that case, first, blend the protein powder with the milk and then add other ingredients.
  • To get the thick texture of the smoothie always use frozen berries and bananas.
  • If you want a more sweet taste of banana berry smoothie then use extra sweeteners like honey or dates. But extra bananas or berries can do the same.
  • This berry banana recipe is a perfect way to use leftover berries and bananas that may go to waste. So you should freeze the berries and bananas to use them in a delicious smoothie. It is necessary to keep peeled bananas in the freezer.


Variations of banana berry smoothie:

Instead of using mixed berries, you can take just one type of berrie like strawberries or blackberries, etc. I like the flavor of the blueberry smoothie very much.

If you do not want to add bananas to the smoothie, add some other fruit like mango. To get a creamy smoothie use frozen fruit.

To make some excellent topping on the blueberry banana smoothie, use a layer of whipped cream. And then sprinkle crushed nuts over it. 

You can also decorate the topping with chocolate chips.

You can also use mixed chops of berries for garnishing over the top of a yummy berry banana smoothie.
