This mixed berry smoothie with granola is my go to smoothie. It’s delicious, easy, and made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Plus with the addition of granola, it’s more filling breakfast than most smoothies. This Strawberry Banana PB Smoothie and Wild Blueberry Tea Smoothie are also great smoothie recipes.

How will this mixed berry smoothie with granola make your life easier?

We all need a good and easy smoothie recipe in our back pocket. This mixed fruit smoothie is made with just a few ingredients, ones you probably have on hand, and takes just a couple minutes to make. These are a few of my other favorite smoothie recipes: Wild Blueberry Tea Smoothie, Strawberry Banana PB Smoothie. Also check out these other breakfast recipes.

What makes this smoothie so good?

  • Yogurt
  • Banana
  • Frozen berries
  • Spinach
  • Milk
  • Granola

How do I make this mixed fruit smoothie?

pouring milk into a mixed berry smoothie in a blender

Layer 2/3 c yogurt, 1 banana, 1 c frozen berries, 1 large handful spinach leaves, and 1/4 c milk into blender. Make sure to add soft foods first because they’re easier to blend. Blend until smooth.

Expert Tip: Vanilla yogurt is a great base yogurt, but you can use any flavored yogurt in this smoothie.

Expert Tip: Don’t have frozen berries? Add fresh ones and a few ice cubes if you like thick smoothies.

Expert Tip: Use frozen or fresh spinach leaves. They mellow out the tartness of the berries, you can’t really taste it.

Expert Tip: Use your favorite granola, I use Nature’s Path Pumpkin Flax or my homemade PB Granola.

Expert Tips

  • Vanilla yogurt is a great base yogurt, but you can use any flavored yogurt in this smoothie.
  • Don’t have frozen berries? Add fresh ones and a few ice cubes if you like thick smoothies.

FAQ

Do you put ice in a smoothie?

I don’t put ice in my smoothie, frozen fruit is a great replacement. But if you just use fresh fruit, you’ll have to add something that’s frozen so it’s thick

Are fruit smoothies healthy?

Fruit smoothies often have lots of nutrients in them, from the fruit. If you add yogurt and milk, there’s also some protein and calcium. All foods can fit into a healthful diet, don’t try to eat only ‘healthy foods’.

What liquid to put in a smoothie?

Usually you’ll add milk or fruit juice because they both have flavor. I like adding milk more than juice because it mellows out the flavor of all the berries.

What are the best fruits to put in a smoothie?

Hands down my favorite fruits to add to smoothies are berries. They’re easy to find, and pack a lot of flavor. Really any fruit that can be frozen easily is great in a smoothie. Oh and bananas add sweetness and blend other smoothie flavors together.
