Let’s get blending!
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 small banana (for creaminess)
- ½ cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- ½ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (for protein)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Handful of ice cubes
Pro Tips
✅ Use cold coffee—hot coffee will melt the ice and thin out the smoothie.
✅ Swap banana for avocado if you don’t want extra sweetness but still want creaminess.
✅ Want it thicker? Add extra ice or a scoop of protein powder!
✅ For an extra boost, toss in a tablespoon of chia or flaxseeds.
✅ Need it dairy-free? Use oat, almond, or coconut milk and a dairy-free yogurt.
Tools You’ll Need
- High-speed blender
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Glass for serving
Substitutions & Variations
- No coffee? Use cold brew tea or just milk for a berry smoothie.
- No banana? Try mango or a scoop of oats for thickness.
- Want it sweeter? Add more honey or a Medjool date.
- Extra indulgent? Blend in a spoonful of peanut or almond butter.
Make-Ahead Tips
- Brew your coffee the night before and store it in the fridge.
- Pre-portion berries, banana, and yogurt in freezer bags for easy grab-and-blend mornings!
How to Make It
1. Brew & Cool the Coffee
Brew ½ cup of coffee and let it cool completely. You can pop it in the fridge if needed.
2. Add Everything to the Blender
In a high-speed blender, combine frozen berries, banana, cooled coffee, milk, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), vanilla, and ice cubes.
3. Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high until creamy and smooth, about 30–60 seconds. Scrape down the sides if needed.
4. Serve & Enjoy
Pour into a glass, add a straw, and enjoy immediately!
Leftovers & Storage
- Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed jar. Shake well before drinking.
- For longer storage, pour into an ice cube tray and freeze. Blend frozen cubes with a splash of milk for a quick smoothie later!
