How to Make the Recipe
Making this smoothie is a breeze! Just follow these simple steps:
- Put all of the ingredients into your blender. Yes, it’s really that simple—just add everything to your blender and you’re halfway there!
- Blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Depending on your blender’s power, this should take about 30 seconds to a minute. Make sure to blend until there are no chunks left for that perfect creamy texture.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are a few tips to take your smoothie game to the next level:
- Use frozen berries for the best texture. Frozen berries give the smoothie a thicker, colder consistency that’s hard to achieve with fresh berries.
- Customize to your taste. Want it sweeter? Add a drizzle of honey! Want it thicker? Add a bit more yogurt or a scoop of protein powder.
- Experiment with different milks. Whether you prefer almond, oat, or dairy milk, feel free to switch it up based on your preferences.
How to Serve
This smoothie is perfect on its own, but if you’re looking to make it a bit more special, here are some serving suggestions:
- Pour it into a tall glass and enjoy as a quick breakfast.
- Serve it alongside some Easy One Bowl Brownies for a sweet treat.
- Take it on the go in a reusable cup for a healthy snack.
Make Ahead and Storage
While this smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time for convenience:
- Prep the ingredients the night before. Measure out the yogurt, berries, and banana, and store them in the fridge until morning.
- Store leftovers in the fridge. If you don’t finish the smoothie in one go, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick stir before serving.
And there you have it—your new go-to recipe for a quick, delicious, and healthy Creamy Banana Berry Smoothie! Whether you’re rushing to get the kids to school or need a quick pick-me-up for yourself, this smoothie is sure to hit the spot. Don’t forget to pair it with some Easy One Bowl Fudgy Cocoa Brownies for a treat that’s both healthy and indulgent.
