Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the blackberries thoroughly under cold water and let them drain.
Peel the banana and break it into chunks.
In a blender, combine the blackberries, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and ice cubes.
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add the honey to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or consistency, adding a little more almond milk if it’s too thick or more honey if desired.
Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.
