Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe Bananas
  • 1.5 cups Frozen Blueberries
  • 1.25 cups Raspberry Sherbet
  • 0.75 cup Fat-Free Frozen Yogurt
  • 1 cup Berry Blend Juice plus 1/4 cup more as needed
  • 8 Ice Cubes

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients: ripe bananas, frozen blueberries, raspberry sherbet, fat-free frozen yogurt, berry blend juice, and ice cubes. Having everything ready will make the blending process smoother.
  2. Next, peel the bananas and break them into smaller pieces. This will help them blend more easily and ensure a creamy texture.
  3. In a blender, combine the pieces of banana, frozen blueberries, raspberry sherbet, fat-free frozen yogurt, and berry blend juice. Make sure to add the juice first; this helps the other ingredients blend smoothly.
  4. Cover the blender with its lid securely and blend on high speed. Watch as the ingredients mix together, turning into a beautiful purple smoothie. Make sure everything is well blended, and there are no chunks remaining.
  5. Once blended, take a moment to check the consistency. If it seems too thick for your liking, add the additional berry blend juice one tablespoon at a time. Blend again until you reach the desired thickness.
  6. Now, it’s time to add the ice cubes. Add them to the blender and blend again. This step is crucial for that frosty, refreshing quality of your Banana Berry Smoothies.
  7. When the ice is fully processed and no pieces remain, your smoothie is ready! Pour it into your favorite glass and enjoy the vibrant color.
  8. Don’t forget to taste it! If you enjoy a little more sweetness, feel free to add a touch of honey or agave syrup to balance the flavors. Blend again if you add anything.
  9. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. You can garnish with a few extra blueberries or a slice of banana on top for an extra special touch.

Notes

  • Tip 1: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’re best enjoyed fresh, but you can keep them for a day.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze the smoothie in ice cube trays for future use. Just blend with a bit of juice when you’re ready to enjoy again.
  • Tip 3: These smoothies pair beautifully with light snacks like granola bars or a slice of whole-grain toast.
  • Tip 4: Add a colorful straw and a sprinkle of chia seeds on top for a gorgeous presentation!
  • Tip 5: Try adding spinach or kale for a nutrient boost without altering the taste significantly.
