Ingredients You’ll Need

To make this smoothie, you’ll need fresh or frozen blueberries and raspberries for a burst of antioxidants and tangy sweetness.

How to Make Blueberry Raspberry Smoothie

Creating this smoothie is simple and takes just a few minutes:

• Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by measuring out your ingredients. If using frozen berries, there’s no need to thaw them; they’ll help create a chilled smoothie. Peel the banana and chop it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
• Blend Smoothly: Add all the ingredients to your blender. Start with the almond milk to ensure the blades move freely. Follow with blueberries, raspberries, banana, honey (if using), and ice cubes. Blend at high speed until the mixture is creamy and lump-free.
• Adjust to Your Taste: Once blended, taste the smoothie. If it needs more sweetness, add honey or maple syrup and blend again for a few seconds.
• Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. To maintain its fresh flavor and texture, enjoy it right away.

Garnish Ideas to Make It Special

Enhance the presentation and flavor of your smoothie with these garnish ideas:

• Top with a few whole blueberries and raspberries for a burst of fresh flavor.
• Sprinkle chia seeds, shredded coconut, or granola for added crunch.
• Add a fresh mint sprig for a touch of color and aroma.

These small touches make your smoothie look amazing.
