I love whole fruit juices and smoothies. I also love that smoothies made with fruit don’t really need any  added sugar – because fruit is already so naturally sweet! 

I will often make smoothies as an easy way to get my daily servings of fruits and vegetables – it’s like a little mini-meal when made correctly.

And my healthy mixed berry smoothie recipe is no exception! It’s so simple, but also super customizable – so you can enjoy it as is, add in more fruits, or add in veggies too!

I’m also all about 5 minute recipes, especially in the morning when I need something healthy, fast and filling. That’s why this recipe is one of my go-to morning drinks.

And if you’re as big of a smoothie fan as I am, you should also try this fruit and vegetable smoothie – also made without yogurt, or this kale smoothie, dragon fruit smoothie, and spinach and ginger smoothie, too!

🥘 Ingredients

My ingredients list for this mixed berry smoothie couldn’t be any simpler! You can make this 2 ingredient smoothie with basically no prep time! Here’s what you need:

Frozen Berries: I used a mixed berry medley that had blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries – and I prefer making this smoothie with frozen berries because of the texture. But you can use any combination of your favorite berries that you like. You can also use fresh berries, but then you will need to add ice cubes.

Milk: I like to use a dairy-free milk to keep this recipe vegan and plant-based, but you can use any kind of milk you like! It works great with almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, regular low fat dairy milk, or another dairy-free milk alternative. If choosing plant-milk, just be sure to use one that has no added sugar. I have found that using regular organic 1% milk makes this drink even sweeter and tastes just like a milkshake, which my kids love! This recipe makes a frozen mixed berry smoothie without yogurt – but you can use plain yogurt or Greek yogurt instead of milk for a thicker smoothie.

Optional Added Sweetener: Because of the frozen berries, I find that this smoothie is already naturally sweet on its own, but if your berries happen to be especially tart, feel free to add a dash of your choice of sweetener before serving. Honey, agave, maple syrup, monk fruit and stevia are all great options. You can also add ripe bananas, vanilla extract, or even medjool dates for more sweetness (just make sure to re-blend after adding any sweetener so it gets combined well).

🔪 How To Make A Berry Smoothie Without Yogurt

My frozen berry smoothie without yogurt literally has just 2 steps! All you need is a blender (or a hand blender). See my video below to watch how to make it! Here’s how to make a simple berry smoothie:

Dump & Blend! First I add the milk to a blender, then I’ll add the frozen berries. It’s important to have your liquid go in first for easy blending. Puree until smooth and creamy. You can also use a hand blender if you have one at home.

Serve: Add sweetener to taste (optional). Blend a few more seconds to combine. When it’s ready, I like to pour it into a tall glass and garnish with fresh herbs or fresh berries. I recommend serving this triple berry smoothie recipe immediately!

📖 Variations

Use Fresh Berries: Instead of using a frozen berry medley use your own blend of your favorite fresh berries (or fresh + frozen mixed). I love using fresh raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries, but when using fresh berries, I’ll also add half cup of ice to achieve the same texture as with frozen berries.

Try Different Fruits: Diced apples, diced pears, fresh pineapple or frozen mango would all taste great in this recipe! My kids love it when I add in pineapple and mango. You can even make a mixed berry banana smoothie by just adding in frozen banana along with the berries.

Easy Mixed Berry Smoothie Bowl Recipe: When I have a little more time, I’ll pour this drink into a bowl and top it with sliced bananas, oats, coconut, nuts, seeds, granola, fresh berries, honey, maple syrup, or whatever I have on hand to take this smoothie recipe to the next level.

Add A Boost Of Protein: When I need something more filling, I’ll make a mixed berry protein smoothie by adding a scoop of my favorite plant-based protein powder. I recommend an unsweetened or sugar-free protein powder. While I prefer a plant-based protein, any type of protein powder will work. For extra protein, you can also add 1/2 cup or more of plain Greek yogurt (I don’t recommend vanilla Greek yogurt, as that has too much added sugar).

Healthy Fats: Feel free to add your favorite nut butters or seeds like almond butter, peanut butter, hemp seeds, chia seeds, or flax seeds for added fat and protein. Avocados are a great addition to boost healthy fats and creaminess.

Use Natural Sugars: Instead of adding honey or maple syrup (added sugars) to enhance the sweetness, I recommend fresh or frozen bananas, mangoes, or dates instead!

Extra Greens: To get your serving of veggies and fruits for the day, feel free to add fresh spinach or baby kale to this frozen berry smoothie with milk. They’ll blend right in, you won’t even be able to taste them. The greens are a great way to get some extra fiber too!

🍽 Serving Suggestions

This mixed berry smoothie with no yogurt pairs well with breakfast, snacks, and other kid-friendly recipes. I also like it by itself for an afternoon treat! Here are some of my favorite ways to serve it:

Breakfast: For a sweet, grab-and-go option, I’ll give this breakfast smoothie a boost by enjoying it alongside my pumpkin protein balls to round out the sweetness. For a low-calorie option, this egg white omelet would pair nicely with this smoothie.

Lunch: When I’m looking for a more filling lunch, I’ll often pair this smoothie with my vegan hummus avocado wrap for a hearty snack!

Kid-Friendly Recipes: My kids love turning this into a frozen berry smoothie bowl, and grabbing a handful of my low calorie granola as a topping for a for snack time! Sometimes we’ll pair it with savory snacks too like these air fryer mozzarella sticks for a delicious after school snack.

🧊 Storage Directions And Serving Size

Serving: This recipe makes a single serving mixed berry smoothie without yogurt or banana. If you are making this for your kids and family members, just double or triple the recipe as needed. You can also add ingredients (such as my variations above) to stretch the recipe for additional servings.

Refrigeration: Store any leftover smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container or mason jar. I find that before serving again, it helps to blend for about 30 seconds, and sometimes I’ll even add ice or frozen fruits before blending!
