Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 large banana
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
Prepare your ingredients by measuring out the berries, almond milk, and yogurt, and juicing and zesting the lemon.
Add the mixed berries, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey or maple syrup (if using) to a blender.
Toss in the ice cubes to give the smoothie a frosty texture.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If needed, stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
