Healthy Mixed Berry Smoothie

Published on 10.29.2021 by Jen Hansard

RECIPE CARD LEAVE REVIEW
Mixed berry smoothie recipe

I just can't get enough when berry season comes around. My family eats pints of berries in 1 sitting, they're our go-to road trip snack, and I love tossing them into smoothies. This mixed berry smoothie recipe is a great low-sugar option as well as loaded with antioxidants that will leave you feeling energized, glowing and ready to tackle the day ahead.

Mix berry smoothie recipe

I call smoothies the world's healthiest fast food because you can make a whole food, plant based breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack in 5 minutes. Here's how:

  1. Blend water + spinach starting with the blender on low, then slowly moving to high speed. Blend until no leafy chunks remain.
  2. Stop blending and add all fruit ingredients + boosters then blend again. Since many berries have seeds, blend a bit longer to ensure the seeds are well blended. If you aren't using a high-powered blender, you will probably still have seeds in your finished product. If you want to pour your smoothie through a sieve into the glass, go for it!

That's it! If your fruit is all fresh, then you may want to add an ice cube or 2 to your finished smoothie to cool it down. If you are using all frozen fruit, thaw them slightly before blending for a smoother finished product.

Feel free to swap out any of the ingredients in the below mixed berry smoothie for the berries of your choice. Smoothies are super versatile and just needs to be delicious for the person consuming it.

Berry smoothie FAQs

Are mixed berry smoothies good for you?

They can be! Berries are naturally low in sugar, and my smoothie also has a handful of spinach which boosts the fiber. Fiber helps the body break down the natural sugar in fruit for a filling, no sugar rush snack or light meal. Berries are also loaded with antioxidants and vitamins that help the immune system.

Can you make a mixed berry smoothie with milk?

Yes! I like the ease of making smoothies with water, yet you can definitely swap out water for the plant milk of your choice.

Are mixed berry smoothies good for weight loss?

Smoothies alone can't help you lose weight, yet boosting your intake of fruits and vegetables can. Berries are low in sugar, and drinking a smoothie in place of a snack or breakfast (especially if that smoothie is boosted with plant-based protein) sets the tone for your day and helps you choose healthier options through the day.

Ingredients + benefits

Cherries- This pitted fruit contains 3 grams of fiber and 18% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamin C per serving. The antioxidants in cherries help control oxidative stress. Polyphenols give cherries powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

Strawberries- This low sugar berry is also anti-inflammatory and can help lower the risk of heart disease. High in potassium, strawberries can help control blood pressure. It makes my mixed berry smoothie naturally sweet without spiking the sugar.

Blueberries- The mighty blueberry is often touted as a superfood. 1 serving contains 4 grams of fiber, 36% of the RDI of vitamin K, 24% of the RDI of vitamin C, and 25% of the RDI of manganese. Blueberries are queen when it comes to antioxidants and can help protect against both aging and cancer.

Banana- While people often associate bananas with high sugar content, they are actually relatively low on the glycemic index. Greener bananas contain less sugar than the yellowish brown ones. This creamy fruit also contains fiber, potassium and vitamins B6 and C.

Protein Smoothie Boost- I was sick of trying protein powders that claimed to be clean yet still had sugar and additives in them. So I created my own. 3 ingredients, all organic, and gives any smoothie an additional 10 grams of protein, 4 grams of healthy fat, and 7 grams of fiber. This turns all your smoothies into a quick + tasty meal.

Finally, this helps your body break down the natural fruit carbs in your smoothie, giving you long lasting energy with no sugar crash.

How to make a low-sugar smoothie

Fruit has carbs. These carbs are broken down between sugar and fiber. This is super important to know, because so many of us see carbs as 'bad' and lump fruit sugar into the same category as refined sugar. I know that fruit sugar can affect our blood sugar, yet I also know that fiber is SUPER important in breaking down the natural sugar in the body... and our bodies need both (which is why a mixed berry smoothie recipe should be on your weekly blend list). Plus, did you know daily fruit consumption can actually combat obesity?!

If you like to keep your smoothies lower in sugar, first pick your fruits from this great list. Second, use water or unsweetened plant milk as your liquid base. I know smoothies with fruit juice are delicious... yet that adds a lot of fiberless sugar. Third, boost your smoothie with plant based protein powder. Make sure it's sugarless, and has both protein and healthy fat.

More berry smoothie recipes

I've got SO many berry smoothies because... well berries are delicious, smoothies are delicious, so why the heck not?! Here's some recipe inspo for you:

  • Strawberry banana smoothie
  • Blackberry smoothie
  • Strawberry blueberry smoothie
  • Raspberry smoothie
  • Berry breakfast smoothie
  • Strawberry smoothie
  • Berry citrus smoothie
  • Blueberry spinach smoothie
  • Strawberry mango smoothie
  • Berry carrot smoothie
  • Blueberry smoothie
  • Berry banana smoothie
  • Chocolate strawberry smoothie
  • Cherry beet smoothie
  • Almond berry smoothie

Basically if you like berries and have a blender then I've got a berry smoothie for you. Mix n' match your berries to what you have on hand/prefer. Frozen berries are a great option as well; no need to spend a lot of money on fresh, out-of-season berries. Frozen berries are picked at the height of their season, then flash frozen to preserve nutrients.

When berries are in season, find a u-pick place or buy them from a local stand. That way you get the most berries for your buck. Your mixed berry smoothie tastes best with seasonal fruit.

    This was very refreshing and tasty; that said I'm giving it a 4-star rating not 5 because I modified the recipe and added an entire banana not just 1/2. I did this from previous experience with mixed berry recipes where I find them to tart for my liking. With the modification it becomes a keeper for me. So good and now I can reap the benefits of berries in a daily smoothie. YumYum.

    Liked Day 2 Berry Smoothie very much. I can't believe how easy breezy these smoothies are to make. I make them right before heading out the door to work. I tell myself I will wait until I get to the office to drink the smoothie but that never happens. After one sip on the drive in and it's disappeared by the time I get to work! How'd that happen?! I used a frozen fruit blend. Worked very nicely.

    What it lacks in colour it makes up for in flavour. I made this with a whole small banana, milk instead of water, and matcha. Next time I would definitely use less banana and use water as listed to allow the berry flavours to be the star.

    I didn't get to the store in time to do the Day 1 smoothie, so this is my first time adding spinach. Don't be afraid of the spinach! I am not a spinach fan and am very picky about how I will consume it and I was concerned that it would mess up a perfectly good smoothie. It did not! I followed the (doubled) recipe exactly and hubby and I could not detect the flavor of spinach at all, although we could tell that there was something very slightly vegetable-y about it compared to our normal smoothies with just fruit. I rated it 4 stars because it wasn't particularly flavorful, but perhaps it was just my specific ingredients at this particular time. Others mentioned lots of cherry flavor, which I was surprised not to get, and the banana was on the under-ripe side, so less sweet. I would make it again with a more ripe banana, and hope for cherries with more pizazz next time.

    Day 2 was delicious! I doubled the spinach, used blackberries instead of strawberries, plus added 1/2 an avocado and 2 tbsp of black chia seeds, making enough for two smoothies. The blueberries, chia seeds and avocado increased the thickness, so had to drink with a straw! (glass/stainless steel straws of course ;))

      April 06, 2021 at 7:41 pm

      Hi Pat, you're correct, the older/more ripe the banana, the more flavour. My smoothie was not green either. Started as a dark red, then changed to brown after sitting out for awhile (oxidation). At least it still tasted delicious!

    • Simple Green Smoothies

      April 08, 2021 at 2:29 pm

      You're totally right Pat! The older and yellow-er (it's a word now!) a banana is, the sweeter it is. If you're concerned about a smoothie being too banana-y (also now a word!), def feel free to use less. You can always toss more in as you blend. Smoothies with berries will for sure look purple, pink or even brownish in color instead of green when blended because of those berries.

    I don't want to throw it out, so do you have suggestions for what I can add to the already-made smoothie to cut the sweetness? I'm a longtime green smoothie-maker, so I have lots of different ingredients on hand I could add. I'm not afraid of kale or anything else that could dilute the sweetness -- just don't know where to start! Thanks a bunch (of greens)!

      Oh no! Sounds like a good problem to have though tbh. 😉 The top ideas we have would be to blend in some avocado, protein (like Protein Smoothie Boost, hemp hearts, chia seeds) or additional greens. If all else fails, blending in a touch of fresh lemon juice can help knock that sweetness down for you. Keep us posted on what you tried and what worked best for you!

      That's a great plan, Ann. Plus swapping in cashew or avocado for the banana will up that protein and/or healthy fat ratio too!

    Though not a huge fan of cherries, this one was not bad. I even managed to not taste the spinach this time lol.

    So yummy! A little tangy from the cherry, but sweet from the berries. A new favorite!

    This was not bad- way too sweet as I added Protein Powder to it - I will have to adjust next time or leave out the protein powder

    I made this with the addition of almond butter and oats to make it a meal replacement smoothie.

    I’m leaving 4 stars but it very well might be a 5 star recipe, I just made substitutions. I used cranberry instead of cherry & kale instead of spinach + added cauliflower. It was good don’t get me wrong but not one I’d want to drink on the reg.

    Very berry tasty! I did not have cherries or blueberries so substituted blackberries, which still tasted great. Also added my usual black chia seeds and pea protein powder. I look forward to trying this again with the original ingredients.

    Great tasting smoothie. I added chia seeds for protein, and lightly blended in a few fresh raspberries at the end. I like the druplets texture and little bursts of flavor. And I eat about 6-8 almonds for additional healthy fat and protein to make this a meal.

    I made this today. I used a mixed berry medley (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries) in place of strawberries and blueberries. Added a little bit of cinnamon.

      I bet the cinnamon gave it a nice flavor boost! Use almond or oat milk in place of water, add some ground flax seeds and you have a berry cobbler!

    Not bitter at all. I'm usually not a fan of MIXED BERRY smoothies as they are very tart and bitter to me, but not this specific blend. Wow, thank you, now I have a recipe to use up all my frozen cherries with. It blended smooth and almost has a cocoa flavor profile, hmm... I wonder how this would blend if I added a chocolate flavored protein powder.

      Dora, I bet it would taste really good if you added that! I love making cherry smoothies and adding cacao powder so I think it would taste similar. 🙂

    I'll give this one a 3.
    Berries can't seem to have that sweet affect,
    So the banana is covering for it ...
    But it has its advantage - tones of antioxidants.

    Hi, sounds delicious, but I'm confused. The dieprections say to blend the orange juice but the recioe list doesn't list orange juice. Are we supposed to use ok or not? Best, Judith

      Hi Judith,

      Thank you so much for pointing out our mistake! You're right this recipe does not contain orange juice. We'll make sure and correct this right away!

      Thanks again! 🙂

    This was great. I could barely taste the banana( which was a plus), and i also added oatmeal to the receipe instead of the chia seeds. it was so yummy. Question how many calories are in this drink?

      Hi Britt! We aren't sure how many are there. We focus more on counting the nutrients that are going into our smoothies 🙂 Lots of people use My Fitness Pal or Lose It to figure out how many calories are in each smoothie

    Cherries (blueberries too) are a great way to hide the spinach for your kids! My picky little girl has no idea what she's really drinking!

      Yes Jocelyn! Berries can be your best friend with picky eaters. 🙂 I used to have to do that with my kids, but know they honestly don't care what color the smoothie is because they know they taste good. The only thing I am not allowed to put in my kids smoothies is celery. Everything else is fair game. Cheers to our healthy families!
