A smoothie is so much more than blended fruit. It's an art with all of its different elements blending perfectly together that you can drink all year round and experiment with different fruits and thickeners.
This Triple Berry Smoothie is the perfect nutritious breakfast to start you and your kids’ day. It’s fruity, creamy, and packed with antioxidants, vitamin B6, B9, C, D & E, calcium, protein, omega 3 fatty acids, potassium and magnesium.
Pick Your Fruit.
We’ve chosen strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and bananas to be our base, but any combo of fruit is great, so feel free to be creative. You can also make a tropical smoothie with pineapple, mango, and banana or add blueberry and peach to switch it up a bit for a spring/summer twist. Aim for about 3 cups of fruit.
Fresh or Frozen Fruit?
For smoothies, frozen fruit is best. It blends up thicker than fresh fruit and gives you a really cold smoothie to enjoy after blending. If you don't have frozen fruit, freeze your fresh fruit for 30 minutes before blending or add about 1 cup of ice and blend until smooth.
Add A Thickener.
We use unsweetened Greek yoghurt or vanilla yoghurt in our smoothie, but peanut butter, almond butter for vegan alternatives are also great options. Traditionally about 1/2 cup is ideal. If you prefer thinner smoothies, you can either lessen the amount of thickener or skip it all together.
Choose a liquid.
Almond milk is great for the added nutty flavour, but coconut milk pairs well with a tropical smoothie and gives a richer, creamier flavour. Whole milk or fruit juice also work well. 1 1/4 cup of liquid makes the perfect consistency for our preference. If you skipped the thickener, use less liquid as well.
Throw Some Add-Ins.
Add some baby spinach or kale for additional nutrition or flax seeds for omega-3s. Flavours like fresh mint, vanilla extract, cinnamon, or manuka honey will take any smoothie to the next level. For added protein, add our amazing pea protein which is also safe for pregnant women given its anti-inflammatory properties.
