Tips When Making Berry Smoothies
Making a berry smoothie thatโs thick, flavorful, and balanced is easier than it sounds. A few simple tricks can take your blends from โgoodโ to โamazingโ:
- Mix fresh and frozen berries: Frozen berries give a thick, creamy texture, while fresh berries add brightness and natural flavor.
- Sneak in greens: A handful of leafy green vegetables like spinach or kale boosts fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants without changing the taste. You can check out my guide on how to freeze spinach and also on how to freeze kale.
- Add seeds for nutrition: Chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp seeds add protein, omega-3s, and staying power.
- Creamy texture: Use yogurt, non-dairy milk, or you can freeze bananas for a smooth, indulgent feel.
- Balance flavors: Combine tart berries (raspberries, cranberries) with sweeter ones (strawberries, blueberries) for a naturally delicious taste. Mix and match any low sugar fruits to your liking.
- Boost with extras: Try a drizzle of honey, a pinch of cinnamon, or a scoop of homemade protein powder.
How to Wash Fresh Berries
Berries are delicate and often sprayed with pesticides, so wash them gently before blending. Soak in a solution of 1 teaspoon of baking soda per 2 cups of water for 10 minutes. Then, place in a colander and rinse under cool running water, lightly tossing with your hand. That’s how they’re ready to be blended into your favorite smoothies.
