This blueberry raspberry yogurt smoothie is all about big berry flavor with a thick, creamy texture. Frozen blueberries and raspberries make it bright and refreshing, while Greek yogurt, banana, and oats help give it that satisfying smoothie-shop style blend. It is simple enough for a quick breakfast, sweet enough for snack time, and easy to prep ahead for busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium ripe banana, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup milk, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
- 1/2 cup ice, optional for a thicker smoothie
How To Make It
Add the milk to the blender first. This helps the blades move smoothly and keeps the thicker ingredients from sticking at the bottom.
Add the Greek yogurt, banana, oats, frozen blueberries, and frozen raspberries. If you like a sweeter smoothie, add the honey or maple syrup. For a cozy bakery-style flavor, add the vanilla extract.
Blend on high until the mixture looks smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, splash in a little more milk, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until it reaches your favorite consistency. If you want it extra thick and frosty, add the ice and blend again.
Pour into one large glass or two smaller glasses. Serve right away with a few extra berries on top if you want it to look Pinterest-pretty.
Tips
- Use frozen berries for the thickest texture and the brightest chilled flavor.
- A frozen banana will make this smoothie even creamier, but a fresh ripe banana works well too.
- If your raspberries are very tart, add the optional sweetener after blending, taste, then adjust.
- For a spoonable smoothie bowl, reduce the milk to 1/3 cup and blend slowly, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- To meal prep, portion the blueberries, raspberries, banana, and oats into freezer bags. When ready to blend, add the contents to the blender with Greek yogurt and milk.
- If you prefer a smoother finish, blend the oats with the milk first for 20 seconds before adding the rest of the ingredients.
This berry yogurt smoothie is creamy, colorful, and ready to brighten your day.
