- 1/2 Tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare the blender: Pour the 2 cups of low fat milk or low calorie orange juice into the blender. This liquid base will help blend the frozen berries smoothly.
- Add the frozen berries: Measure and add 2 cups of the frozen mixed berries—strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries—for a deliciously fruity flavor and a vibrant color.
- Add yogurt and honey: Spoon in 1 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein, followed by 1/2 tablespoon of honey to enhance sweetness naturally.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture thoroughly until the smoothie has a creamy, even texture with no large fruit chunks remaining.

Notes
- You can substitute low fat milk with almond milk or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the honey quantity depending on your preferred sweetness level or omit it for a less sweet smoothie.
- Using frozen berries eliminates the need for ice and keeps the smoothie chilled.
- For added nutrition, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds before blending.
- This smoothie is best consumed right after blending to enjoy the freshest flavor and texture.
