This recipe for a mixed berry smoothie is a refreshing and healthy combination of fruit and yogurt that’s kid-approved and super easy to make! Smoothies are a great choice for breakfast or as a  mid-day snack.

We are smoothie crazy in my house, we make smoothies almost daily including pineapple smoothies, blueberry smoothies and this simple mixed berry smoothie.

A mug filled with mixed berry smoothie and garnished with fresh berries.

Can you ever have too many smoothie recipes? I don’t think so! This mixed berry smoothie is my girls’ current favorite, so I figured it was time I shared it all with you too. It takes about 5 minutes to make, and it’s packed with protein thanks to Greek yogurt so it’s both filling and refreshing.

How do you make a mixed berry smoothie?

This mixed berry smoothie is simply frozen berries, banana, vanilla Greek yogurt, liquid of your choice, and sweetener if you desire. I buy bags of mixed frozen berries and always have a few in the freezer for when a smoothie craving strikes. I typically make these smoothies with apple juice as it eliminates the need to add any sweetener later on. Other liquid choices are skim milk, almond milk, coconut milk or even a cranberry juice would be nice. When I do sweeten smoothies, I typically reach for a little honey. Like I said, it’s really not needed here if you’re using juice, but you may want to add some if you go with a less sweet liquid like skim milk.

I have an insanely picky 3 year old, and on days when I can’t get her to eat more than 2 bites of anything, these mixed berry smoothies are a lifesaver. Nutrients, protein, fiber – and they happen to be her favorite color, bright pink! So while this may be a simple recipe, it’s definitely worthy of sharing for all of you out there who are trying to get your families to eat (and drink!) healthier. Hope you enjoy!

      I am a very picky eater and don’t eat fruits and vegetables. I’ve recently had to start figuring out how to eat healtheir being picky with texture and not sure how to proceed. I didn’t think smoothies would work but it was one of my last options. I found this recipe and i do like berry flavored things, so i thought I would try it. I am absolutely delighted to say that I LOVE this recipe. I had it for the first time yesterday and drank it right down and am currently having another one for lunch today. Thank you so much for providing a healthy recipe that I can love to smell and taste every day! You’re a life saver 😀

      Delicious! I added a tablespoon of flax seed and no honey since I used apple juice. It would also be good with a couple TBSP of peanut butter for a PB and J smoothie. Yum!

      Tastes yummy except I didn’t completely follow the recipe. I used 6 glasses of juice as 11 would make like 15 smoothies (6 glasses makes 4 or 5 )
      I also didn’t use as many berries. Yummy apart from that though!

        Hey,

        It’s not 11 glasses of juice, it’s one-and-a-half (1 1/2). So perhaps 6 glasses might too many too unless you’re making it for a large group.

      Very good! I used apple white grape juice so no sweetener was needed. I also like to throw in some chunks of frozen pineapple so avoid sweeteners. Next time I will start with a little less juice and go from there. Thanks for an excellent recipe!

        I was surprised how good this smoothie was! I would prefer to add orange juice for the “liquid”. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!
