Ingredients in this strawberry blueberry smoothie recipe

Making the perfect smoothie is harder than you think! Often when we go off-recipe, we end up with a drink that’s too thick, too watery, or too sour. Here’s what you need for this strawberry blueberry smoothie for just the right flavor and texture (or jump to the recipe):

• Frozen strawberries and blueberries: Frozen berries are perfect for smoothies: they add just the right icy texture and they’re easy to store. Even better, they’re much less expensive than fresh berries, making for a more economical smoothie.
• Banana: Most of our smoothie recipes use room temperature banana, so you don’t have to remember to freeze them! The banana makes just the right creamy texture. You can also substitute frozen banana, or leave it out and use 2 Medjool dates instead!
• Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt adds protein and has live probiotics that can improve gut health.
• Milk: Use whatever dairy or non-dairy milk you’d like. Substitute water or juice if you don’t have any on hand.
• Maple syrup: Frozen berries can be fairly tart more so than ripe fresh berries. The flavor needs a bit of sweetener, so use maple syrup, honey or agave syrup.
• Ice: A bit of ice makes a fluffy, frothy texture to this smoothie recipe.
• Cinnamon: This spice adds a little extra oomph that makes this smoothie great! Feel free to cut it back if you’d like it to be more of a supporting flavor.

Make it dairy free

I love smoothies with Greek yogurt because it adds a hefty dose of protein, making the smoothie more filling and giving it creamy texture. (My son is lactose intolerant but he can handle small amounts of yogurt and this smoothie works for him.) But it’s easy to make this one plant-based! Here’s how to make a vegan strawberry blueberry smoothie:

• Make it as a variation on our strawberry banana smoothie. Go to my Strawberry Banana Smoothie recipe and substitute 1 cup frozen blueberries for half of the frozen strawberries.
• Substitute non-dairy milk for the milk and omit the yogurt. Our favorite non-dairy milk to use in smoothies is oat milk, but almond milk also works well. Start with substituting the quantity of milk in the recipe and omitting the yogurt entirely, then add more liquid as necessary to get the smoothie to blend.

Mix-ins for this strawberry blueberry smoothie

The best part about smoothie recipes is that the recipe is a template! This strawberry blueberry smoothie is delicious as is, but it’s even more fun to add mix-ins and adders. Here are some of our favorite ideas:

• Chia seeds. Increase the plant-based protein and fiber with chia seeds! Adding 2 tablespoons to the recipe provides 4 grams protein and 11 grams fiber (see this Chia Seed Smoothie).
• Nut butter. Add a dollop of nut butter for another protein adder! One tablespoon of peanut butter is a good amount for extra protein without a strong nutty flavor, and it adds 4 grams protein.
• More Greek yogurt: Add even more protein by blending in an extra ½ cup yogurt, to taste.
• Coconut. Add a handful of coconut flakes or a drizzle of coconut milk for a tropical flavor.

Fun fruity variations

You can also use this smoothie as a template for other berry smoothies! Here are a few ideas of berry combinations that work well together:

• Strawberry blackberry smoothie: Swap in frozen blackberries.
• Strawberry raspberry smoothie: Swap in frozen or fresh raspberries.
• Strawberry raspberry blueberry smoothie: Substitute ½ cup frozen raspberries for ½ cup of the strawberries.
• Blueberry banana smoothie: Try my Blueberry Banana Smoothie.

Notes
