Ingredients
Scale
For the Smoothie Base:
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries (or mixed berries)
- 1 frozen banana (adds natural sweetness and creaminess!)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk, adjust for consistency)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (adds a smooth, dessert-like flavor!)
For the Toppings:
- Fresh strawberries, sliced into hearts ❤️
- Fresh raspberries or blueberries
- Granola or crushed nuts (for crunch!)
- Chia seeds or shredded coconut (for extra texture and nutrition!)
- Dark chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips (for a sweet Valentine’s touch!)
- Drizzle of honey or melted white chocolate (optional but delicious!)
Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Smoothie Base
- In a high-speed blender, combine frozen berries, banana, yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth and thick—it should be the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
- If needed, add a little more milk 1 tbsp at a time until desired thickness is reached.
Step 2: Assemble the Smoothie Bowl
- Pour the smoothie into two small or one large bowl.
- Arrange heart-shaped strawberry slices, fresh berries, granola, and other toppings on top.
- Drizzle with honey or melted chocolate for extra sweetness.
Step 3: Serve & Enjoy!
- Serve immediately with a spoon and enjoy your Valentine’s-inspired berry bliss!
Serving Suggestions
- Make it protein-packed! Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder before blending.
- Turn it into a parfait! Layer smoothie with granola and yogurt in a glass.
- Freeze leftovers into popsicles! Pour into molds and freeze for a cold treat.
Notes
- Want a thicker smoothie? Use less milk or add ½ cup frozen cauliflower (you won’t taste it!).
- Lighter option? Skip the honey and use just the fruit’s natural sweetness.
- More texture? Add chia seeds, hemp seeds, or flaxseeds before blending.
- Chocolate lover? Mix in 1 tbsp cocoa powder for a berry-chocolate twist!
