    Strawberry Banana Blackberry Smoothie

    Updated: Mar 26, 2024 by Gustavo De Obaldia

    Written by Gustavo De Obaldia

    Summer is the perfect time for smoothies. Not only are they a refreshing treat, but they're also a great way to pack lots of healthy fruits and vegetables. This strawberry banana blackberry smoothie is a summertime must but can be easily made year-round as the ingredients are always available on the grocery frozen produce aisle. Plus, it's loaded with antioxidants and vitamins that are good for you.

    We love zipping smoothies for breakfast, as they are the perfect way to pack as many veggies and fruit nutrients as you like in a meal in less than 5 minutes. You can build them to adapt to any season and are as functional as you want them to be.

    Berries, pineapples, and cucumbers are often present in our vegan vegan summer recipes; while chocolate, oats, and pumpkin make their way to our blenders when the fall season brings the cozy vibes.

    This was inspired by our strawberry kiwi smoothie recipe and can be made with your own homemade almond milk.

    🧾 Ingredients

    We use frozen fruit to make this yummy treat fast and extra creamy, but fresh or frozen is the same. Simply add some ice cubes if using fresh fruit.

    strawberry banana blackberry smoothie ingredients
    • Frozen Blackberries: These little gems bring a tart punch and vibrant color, all while packing in antioxidants like vitamin C. They also make the texture irresistibly smooth.
    • Unsweetened Almond Milk: This plant milk keeps the smoothie dairy-free and light, allowing the fruit flavors to shine. Bonus: It adds a hint of nuttiness without extra sugar.
    • Frozen Strawberries: A must for sweetness and that classic berry flavor. Their frozen state helps achieve a creamy, ice-cold texture.
    • Pitted Dates: Nature's candy, these offer a caramel-like sweetness that's fiber-rich, keeping the sugar spike in check.
    • Frozen Banana: This is the creaminess MVP; it's like the vegan ice cream of the smoothie world. Also, bananas bring essential nutrients like potassium into the mix.
    • Water: Keeps the blender's workload light and helps achieve your desired consistency. It's also calorie-free, keeping the smoothie on the lighter side.
    • Hemp Hearts (optional): If you're looking to boost the protein content, throw these in. They come with the added benefit of omega-3 fatty acids.

    🍽 Equipment

    Using a high-speed blender such as a nutribullet is essential to make a creamy smoothie every time.

    🔪 Instructions

    Make this frozen fruit smoothie in one go; you don't even need a chopping board.

    add all the plant milk into the blender followed by frozen fruit

    Step 1: Add the frozen banana chunks and berries to the blender, starting with the plant-based milk—top with frozen fruit and hemp seeds or your seeds or protein of choice.

    Step 2: Blend at high-speed until you reach the desired consistency—about 40 seconds. Serve and top with fresh fruit hemp seeds or chia seeds.

    Hint: if you use a fresh banana, fresh berries, fresh blackberries, or strawberries, instead of frozen berries, add 4-6 ice cubes per portion. You can add almond yogurt or mix fresh and frozen fruit to compensate for the creamy texture.

    💡Top tip

    Alternate your berry smoothies with a variety of berries. To get the most out of their antioxidative power. Try our frozen berries smoothie and our spinach blueberry smoothie.

    Also, berries are easy to add to oats and chia pudding, a breakfast fruit bowl, or blueberries overnight oats.

    📖 Variations

    • More protein - add your favorite protein powder to your smoothie; we recommend vanilla or strawberry flavor. You can also add a tablespoon of almond butter or nut butter.
    • No banana - use peaches instead for an equally creamy version.
    • Green smoothie - add a bunch of leafy greens like baby spinach or kale.
    • For extra heart health, add a scoop of gluten-free rolled oats.

    ❓ FAQ

    Season for blackberries?

    The best time to pick blackberries is from late June through early August. However, some cultivars are available earlier or later in the season. The taste of blackberry can vary depending on the cultivar, but they are generally tart and juicy. They can also be eaten fresh or frozen for later use.

    How to freeze blackberries?

    When freezing blackberries, it's important to note that they will not retain their taste or texture as well as when fresh. That said, if you want to extend your blackberries' shelf life for a later date, freezing them is possible.
     
    To freeze blackberries, rinse them under cool water and then pat them dry. Next, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze them for about two hours. Once they are frozen solid, you can transfer them to a zip-log bag and store them in the freezer for up to six months.

    🫙 Storage 

    These strawberry blackberry banana smoothie leftovers will keep in a covered mason jar in the refrigerator for up to two days, though best when fresh.

    Notes

    Nutrition facts are calculated without the protein powder.
    Adding the suggested protein powder adds 28 calories, 0 carbohydrates, and 5 grams of protein per serving.
    Add agave or maple syrup for extra sweetness or extra dates. We like using dates because they have a ton of beneficial post-workout benefits.
