    You will love this Berry Smoothie Recipe

    Spinach smoothie recipes are the perfect breakfast for my life right now. It's much easier for me to get more vegetables in when I can blend them into a smoothie. They're also perfect for taking on-the-go when we have busy mornings. We love these Zucchini Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies, the best no bake protein balls, or One-Bowl Peanut Butter Muffins for easy breakfasts as well. 

    When I first started adding spinach to my favorite smoothie recipes I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! You can hardly taste the spinach.

    They are so delicious, even my kids finish their entire cups when I make extra for them. This recipe serves one, but you can easily double or triple it for the whole family! 

    Berry Smoothie benefits

    Berry smoothies can offer a variety of health benefits, as berries are packed with essential nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber. Here are some potential benefits of drinking berry smoothies:

    • Rich in Antioxidants: Berries, such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, are high in antioxidants like anthocyanins and quercetin. 
    • Vitamins and Minerals: Berries are a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, like vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese, and folate. These nutrients play crucial roles in immune function, bone health, and overall well-being.
    • Fiber Content: Berries are rich in dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health. Fiber helps regulate bowel movements, promotes a feeling of fullness, and may help with weight management.
    • Health Benefits of Antioxidants:
    • Antioxidants contain many benefits, including the ability to reduce stress and inflammation.
    • Heart Health: The antioxidants and fiber in berries may contribute to heart health by helping to lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and improve overall cardiovascular function.
    • Cognitive Function: Some studies suggest that the antioxidants in berries may have positive effects on cognitive function and may help protect the brain from age-related decline.
    • Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The compounds found in berries have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be beneficial. Chronic inflammation is associated with various health issues, including heart disease and certain cancers.
    • Hydration: Berry smoothies are a delicious way to stay hydrated, especially if you use a liquid base like water, coconut water, or almond milk.
    • Skin Health: The antioxidants in berries may have skin-protective effects, helping to combat oxidative stress and promote healthy skin.

    Remember to balance your smoothie with a combination of fruits, vegetables, and other nutritious ingredients to maximize its health benefits.

    Mixed Berry Smoothie pro tips

    • Blend spinach with liquid first (in this case, almond milk) until the greens are fully blended and there are no big pieces.
    • Next, blend in the yogurt, frozen and fresh fruit, and anything else you're adding.
    • For a nice consistency, you will need to use a powerful blender. We love our Blendtec! This KitchenAid Blender is great too and it comes in so many fun colors. 
    • We like sneaking more nutrients in our kids smoothies using our Balance of Nature fruit capsules! Read more about them here.

    Mixed Berry Smoothie Recipe substitutions

    You can substitute triple berry mix with any berries or frozen fruit. You can use just one type of frozen fruit if you prefer, or try a combination of berries and other fruits. 

    The Best Frozen Fruits to Put in Smoothies

    Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Peaches, Bananas, Dragon Fruit, Pineapple and Mango.

    How to store a Frozen Berry Smoothie

    • Refrigerating Smoothies: If you plan to drink the smoothie shortly, you can store it in the refrigerator for a few hours. Use a tightly sealed container to prevent maintain freshness.
    • Freezing Smoothies: For longer storage, consider freezing the smoothie in individual portions. Pour the smoothie into airtight containers or freezer-safe bags. Leave some space at the top of the container to account for expansion. This way, you can grab a pre-made smoothie whenever you want.
    • Thawing: When you’re ready to consume a frozen smoothie, transfer it to the refrigerator the night before to allow gradual thawing. You can let it thaw at room temperature for quicker thawing.

    Frozen Berry Smoothie with Yogurt FAQs

    Can you taste spinach in a smoothie?

    Spinach is a mild-flavored leafy green, and when blended into a smoothie with other flavorful ingredients like berries, you may not detect it. However, the color of the smoothie might change to a greenish hue. If you're concerned about the spinach flavor, you can start with a smaller amount and gradually increase it as you become accustomed to the taste.

    Should you thaw frozen fruit before blending?

    In most cases, you don't need to thaw frozen fruit before blending. In fact, using frozen fruit can enhance the thickness and chill of your smoothie. A blender can easily handle frozen fruits, breaking them down into a smooth consistency. Thawing is only necessary if you prefer a thinner texture.

    Do you need to add ice to smoothies with frozen fruit?

    You generally don't need to add additional ice to smoothies when using frozen fruit. The frozen fruit itself serves as a natural ice substitute, keeping the smoothie cold and refreshing. Adding too much ice can dilute the flavor and consistency of the smoothie. If you prefer an even colder or thicker texture, you can experiment with the ratio of frozen fruit to liquid or use frozen yogurt for added creaminess.

      Spinach? What spinach! You’d never know it’s there. This is one of those that is awesome for tricking kids into eating something green! I made it for myself at 10:30 pm for breakfast (long day) and added a frozen banana and vanilla protein powder (and left out the honey) as well as upped the spinach. I didn’t measure. Just grabbed a nice, big handful.

      I tried this recipe as my first spinach smoothie for the first time and I believe I'm in love. I, unfortunately, did not have raw spinach or yogurt (I ran out of yogurt this morning in a different smoothie). Using frozen spinach instead and following the instructions, I ended up having to add another half cup of almond milk because there wasn't enough liquid for the blades to get to everything, it all stuck to the edges in a frozen clump. But all in all, with the additional milk and a 20 oz glass to hold it all, it came out with a great taste
