A vibrant blend of sweet strawberries and tangy blueberries, this smoothie is a delightful, nutrient-packed treat perfect for breakfast or a refreshing snack.

Why I’ll Love This Recipe

I love how effortlessly this smoothie comes together—it’s just a few wholesome ingredients, a quick blend, and I have a smooth, creamy drink loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, and protein. It’s refreshing, satisfying, and versatile enough for any time of day.

ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

½ cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
½ cup plain or vanilla yogurt
½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
Optional sweetener: 1 Tbsp honey or agave nectar
Optional add-ins: flaxseed or chia seeds for an extra boost

directions

Add the strawberries, blueberries, yogurt, milk, and optional sweetener or seeds into a blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, I add a splash more liquid; if I used fresh fruit, I toss in a few ice cubes.
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture and freshness.

Servings and timing

Servings: Makes 1 generous smoothie (or 2 smaller servings)
Prep time: About 5–10 minutes, depending on whether the berries are frozen or fresh.

Variations

Thicker smoothie: Add a banana or use all frozen fruit.
Dairy-free: Substitute yogurt and milk with coconut or almond milk and plant-based yogurt
Protein-packed: Mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter
Green boost: Toss in a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients
Sweeteners swap: Use stevia, maple syrup, or skip it entirely for a naturally sweet drink

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 1 day. Before drinking, I shake or stir well—it thickens as it sits. If I want to prep ahead, I assemble frozen ingredient packs and keep them in the freezer; when I’m ready, I just add liquid and blend—that keeps them fresh for weeks.

FAQs

How do I make this smoothie vegan?

I swap dairy yogurt and milk with plant-based yogurt (like almond or coconut) and plant milk. I also use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.

Can I prep this smoothie in advance?

Yes! I portion out berries and yogurt into freezer bags. When I’m ready, I add milk and blend. Prepped packs can keep well for up to 2 weeks.

What if I like my smoothie thinner or thicker?

For a thinner texture, I add more milk or water. For a thicker texture, I use more frozen fruit, add ice, or include a banana.

Can I add greens like spinach?

Absolutely—I often toss in a handful of spinach or kale. It boosts fiber and nutrients without changing the fruity flavor much.

How do I prevent it from separating if I store it?

I fill the jar to the top and shake or stir right before drinking. Adding a dash of lemon juice helps maintain color and freshness.

Conclusion

I’m always amazed by how quick and nourishing this smoothie is. It’s creamy, fruity, and packed with nutrients—plus it’s so easy to customize based on what I have on hand or my dietary preferences. Whether I’m rushing out the door or enjoying a midday pick-me-up, this smoothie never disappoints.
