- ½ cup (120 milliliters) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
Liquid and Sweeteners:

Instructions
- Arrange all ingredients near the blender to streamline the preparation process.
- Load frozen berries, ripe banana, yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla extract into the high-speed blender.
- Pulse and blend the mixture on high speed, ensuring ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and transformed into a velvety, uniform texture.
- Monitor the consistency, aiming for a soft-serve ice cream-like thickness – creamy yet sturdy enough to hold its shape.
- If the blend appears too dense, incrementally introduce additional milk, one tablespoon at a time, while blending to achieve the perfect smooth and luxurious texture.
- Once the desired consistency is reached, immediately transfer the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl.
- Enhance the presentation by garnishing with fresh berry slices, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of granola for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Customize the smoothie’s thickness by adjusting milk quantity, creating a perfect texture from spoonable to drinkable.
- Swap dairy yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt for a vegan-friendly version that maintains creamy consistency.
- Enhance nutritional value by adding a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds for extra protein and omega-3 benefits.
- Experiment with toppings like fresh berries, granola, coconut flakes, or sliced almonds to add crunch and visual appeal.
