Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 banana
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup orange juice
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: frozen mixed berries, banana, yogurt, and orange juice. Ensure all ingredients are fresh and ready to use.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks to help with blending.
- Add the frozen mixed berries to the blender first, which will help create a smooth, cold base for the smoothie.
- Place the banana chunks on top of the frozen berries in the blender.
- Pour in the yogurt, which will add creaminess and provide additional nutritional value.
- Add the orange juice to help liquify the mixture and provide a bright, citrusy flavor.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If too thick, add a little more orange juice. If too thin, add more frozen berries.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing evenly.
- Optional: Garnish with a few fresh berries or a banana slice on top. Serve immediately and enjoy cold.
