Mixed Berry Smoothie

Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen mixed berries
• 1 banana – ripe, sliced
• 0.75 cups plain yogurt
• 0.75 cups milk – cold
• 1.5 tbsp honey
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups ice cubes

Instructions

1. Peel the banana and slice it into pieces so it blends more easily.
2. Add the frozen mixed berries to the blender, followed by the sliced banana.
3. Pour in the plain yogurt and the cold milk.
4. Add the honey and vanilla extract to the blender.
5. Top with the ice cubes to help thicken and chill the smoothie.
6. Blend on low speed to start breaking up the frozen berries and ice, then increase to high speed and blend until very smooth and creamy, 45–60 seconds.
7. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if any fruit sticks, then blend again briefly until fully incorporated.
8. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness with a little more honey if desired, blending briefly to combine.
9. Pour the mixed berry smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately while cold and thick.
