Absolutely, here’s a fresh take on a classic Mixed Berry Smoothie recipe that’s bursting with flavor and nutrition:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
• 1 ripe banana
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavored)
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)
• Handful of spinach or kale (optional, for added greens)
• Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

Instructions:

1. Prep Ingredients: Wash the berries and remove any stems or leaves. Peel the banana and slice it into chunks.
2. Blend: In a blender, combine the mixed berries, banana chunks, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey (if using), chia seeds (if using), and spinach or kale (if using). If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can add fewer liquid ingredients or more ice cubes.
3. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on the blender and blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more almond milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or thickness as desired by adding more honey, fruit, or liquid.
5. Serve: Pour the mixed berry smoothie into glasses and garnish with additional berries or a sprig of mint if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Variations:

• Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter for an extra protein boost.
• Coconut Flair: Substitute coconut milk for almond milk to add a tropical twist to your smoothie.
• Tropical Paradise: Add a handful of pineapple chunks or mango slices for a taste of the tropics.
• Citrus Zing: Squeeze in some fresh orange or lemon juice for a refreshing citrus kick.
