★★★★
So yummy! A little tangy from the cherry, but sweet from the berries. A new favorite!
★★★★★
Mixed Berry smoothie
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.
★★★★
Yummy one
★★★★★
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.
★★★★
Oops, I forgot to add the stars with my comment too ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
★★★★★
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.
I made the recipe as it and added 1 Tbsp of Flax seed. I really enjoyed this smoothie! I am going to make another batch for my kid’s snack.
★★★★★
Forgot to rate it. Definitely a five. 🙂
★★★★★
This is currently one of my go to smoothies. Costco has a great organic frozen berry mix.
Berries! I am SO craving blueberries! Yum! I am working very hard to overcome my fear of eating fruit!
★★★★★
Easy to drink bc of its sweetness. I love any smoothie with cherries in it.
★★★★★
This smoothie was delicious. Always enjoy the added banana to make it thicker. I always feel better when I know I’m having my greens and fruits to start my day.
★★★★★
I love day 2. I wasnt sure how this was going to taste but I loved it!
★★★★★
We love this one, I make it a lot! Today I pumped it up with acai powder, elderberry syrup, and matcha green tea powder. Great way to start the day!
★★★★★
Great tasting smoothie. Great berry mix!! Next time I’m going to add Almond Milk.
★★★★★
This recipe is soooo yummy. Love the blend of berries with cherry!
★★★★★
I added kale today and substituted orange juice for the water. Yummy!
★★★★★
I sustained the cherries for blackberries. I wasn’t fond of it, will do cherries next time.
★★★
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.
★★★★★
This was super simple and tasted good. The banana was slightly overpowering, but not too bad.
★★★
This smoothie is SO refreshing! Perfect blend of berries, with the slight sweetness of the banana added. Love it
★★★★★
I made this recipe with coconut water. I am pleasantly surprised it is not tart! Very tasty!
★★★★
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.

Hello I love all your recipes I’m trying to get healthier and the smoothies help I look forward to making them I’m trying the berry berry jubilee today can’t wait thanks again.
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
I’ve used lots of frozen berries with almond milk and oatmeal and never thought about using Greens and Chia Seeds. The taste is great. Thank you!
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!
I’ve been an avid user of frozen berries, but because of this recipe, making me remember how much I love cherries, and how good they are for us, my next bag of frozen fruit will be cherries. Can’t wait to try it!
