Ingredient Notes

ingredients for triple berry smoothie

Frozen mixed berry blend – this blend includes blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Really, any combination of berries can be used.

I used a blend of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries because that what’s in the frozen bags I get purchase. However, you can use any blend of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.

½ of a ripe banana – adds additional sweetness and a creamy texture. I like to keep a bag of frozen bananas in the freezer for smoothies.

Almond milk – Coconut milk, or other non-dairy milks, can be used. 

Chia seeds – This superfood adds fiber, protein, and omega 3 fatty acids.

Substitutions

Can use frozen berries or fresh berries. Frozen berries will create a cold refreshing smoothie that has a slushy texture. If using fresh berries then add in 1-2 cups of ice to get a cold thick smoothie.

Any non-dairy creamer will work. Unsweetened almond and coconut milk are the two non-dairy milks I use in this triple berry smoothie recipe. However, any non-dairy milk will work. 

Add greek yogurt. This will add more protein and a creamy texture to your smoothie. If you want to keep this smoothie vegan then use a non-dairy yogurt.

Add in your favorite superfoods. Chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, hemp hearts, and coconut milk are all superfoods I like to blend into smoothies. 

Superfoods can be found at very affordable prices online at Thrive Market. 

Throw in some greens. A large handful of spinach, kale, or other greens will easily turn this into a tasty green smoothie recipe.

Add in pure vanilla extract for added flavor. ¼ – ½ of a teaspoon gives a subtle vanilla flavor to the smoothie.

Use pure maple syrup or honey for sweetness. The ripe banana should give enough sweetness to this triple berry smoothie recipe but if more is needed then add 1-2 teaspoons of pure maple syrup or honey. 

FAQs

If you want to detox, leave the dairy out. Dairy milk will work as a liquid base for this recipe but dairy is hard on digestion and will interfere with the detoxifying effects of the smoothie. My recommendation, if you want to detox with this smoothie, then keep the smoothie vegan by using non-dairy milk and yogurt.

Use organic ingredients. To keep this smoothie recipe clean I recommend purchasing organic ingredients, especially organic berries. Conventional berries often contain more pesticides than other fruits so purchase organic if possible.

Purchase large bags of organic frozen berries at wholesale clubs. The best prices I’ve found for bulk organic berries are at Wholesale clubs like Costco, BJ’s Wholesale, and Sam’s Club. 

Supplies to Prepare This Triple Berry Smoothie Recipe

How to Make a Triple Berry Smoothie

how to make a triple berry smoothie

It doesn’t get much easier than that!

Meal Prep Tips

This triple berry smoothie is easy to make the morning you want to have one.

However, if you don’t want to break out the smoothie every day then you can make a triple batch and store the smoothies in the refrigerator using mason jars. 

The consistency will change some but the flavor will stay the same.

Freezer Tips

My favorite way to assure I always have smoothie ingredients available is to prepare smoothie freezer kits. To make a triple berry smoothie kit add the frozen berries, banana, and chia seeds to a quart-sized freezer bag. 

When you’re ready to make the smoothie then add the contents of the kit into the blender, add the almond milk, and blend.
