Can I make this smoothie with fresh berries?

You can make this raspberry blueberry smoothie with fresh, not frozen raspberries and blueberries. However, the texture of the smoothie will be much thinner. If you want to use fresh berries, you can throw in a few ice cubes to help thicken up the smoothie.

What kind of yogurt should I use?

I like using low-fat Greek yogurt for smoothies because it is nice and thick and adds a good amount of protein and creaminess. Or, you can use Skyr, which is an Icelandic yogurt that is similar in texture to Greek yogurt. If you would like, you can use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain, such as vanilla or berry. You may want to add less honey if using a sweetened yogurt. You can also use regular yogurt (not Greek) for the smoothie, but the texture of the smoothie will be thinner. If using regular instead of Greek yogurt, you could try adding in a little less milk at first, and adding in more as needed to help the smoothie blend.

How can I garnish a raspberry and blueberry smoothie?

Adding garnish is a fun way to add more texture and visual interest to the smoothie. I like to garnish this smoothie with granola and more frozen raspberries and blueberries. You can also garnish the smoothie with some chopped almonds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, or pumpkin seeds. This smoothie is also thick enough that you could turn it into a smoothie bowl, giving you so much more surface area to fill with various toppings!

This fruity and refreshing smoothie is perfectly tangy, creamy, and sweet! It also has lots of protein thanks to milk and Greek yogurt.

Ingredients

Scale

3/4 cup frozen raspberries (92 g)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries (65 g)
1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt (120 g)
1/2 cup milk (125 g), plus more if needed
1 - 2 tablespoons (21 - 42 g) honey (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Add all ingredients to the pitcher of a blender.
Place the lid on the blender. Add the tamper tool if your blender has one. Start the blender on low and increase the speed as the ingredients begin to combine (if applicable, use the tamper tool to help push down the ingredients). If your blender doesn't have a speed function, begin using the pulse function and switch to continuous once ingredients start to blend. Blend just until smooth.
If needed, add an additional splash of milk to help the ingredients start to blend.
Taste the smoothie and blend in additional honey, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

1. This recipe makes about 12 fluid ounces (1 1/2 cups).

2. If desired, you can use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain. Vanilla or mixed berry flavors would work well here. If using flavored yogurt, you may need less honey (or no honey at all) depending on how sweet you like your smoothies.
