🍓 Blackberry Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe
Here are the ingredients for this banana blackberry smoothie with milk recipe:
- 1 frozen banana (broken into chunks)
- 1 cup halved frozen strawberries
- ¼ cup frozen blackberries
- 1½ cups almond milk (or your favorite milk)
You can use sweetened almond milk in this recipe if you like things sweeter, or use unsweetened almond milk as I did. Use soy milk instead if you’d prefer more protein. Alternatively, go for dairy-free oat milk or coconut milk if you like the taste.
Dairy milk makes a very thick, creamy, and airy smoothie, almost like soft serve ice cream. However, the fruit flavor is less strong compared to if you use plant-based milk alternatives.
If berries are in season, you can freeze fresh berries for this strawberry and blackberry smoothie. This blackberry banana smoothie without yogurt is also a super way to use up overripe bananas. (I just know you’re going to love this recipe!)
The kitchen equipment you need includes a food processor and possibly a sharp knife to cut the fruit. I like to serve smoothies with wide-width straws for easier drinking. (Plus, they are cute!)
How to Make a Strawberry and Blackberry Smoothie
Here are the step-by-step instructions to make a blackberry smoothie recipe (no yogurt):
Halve the strawberries and cut the bananas into chunks (if necessary) for easier blending.
Place the blackberries, strawberries, banana, and almond milk in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and serve immediately. Enjoy!
When making smoothies with blackberries, a little goes a long way to add flavor and color. If you add too many blackberries, your smoothie may become unpleasantly seedy. Strawberries and bananas are usually less expensive than blackberries as well, so we’re using more of them here.

⭐ Do strawberry and banana smoothies have benefits?
Are frozen berry smoothies healthy? Yes, blackberry strawberry banana smoothies are packed with numerous health benefits. These smoothies are not only delicious and refreshing but also an excellent source of several essential vitamins and minerals.
Firstly, the combination of strawberries, blackberries, and bananas provides a high amount of dietary fiber, which helps in maintaining a healthy digestive system, supports weight management, and aids in regulating blood sugar levels. Moreover, the low-calorie content of these fruits makes the smoothie a smart choice for people who want weight loss.
When it comes to nutrients, blackberries and strawberries are rich in antioxidants, including anthocyanins and vitamin C, which help protect your body from harmful free radicals, boost your immune system, and support healthy skin. Meanwhile, bananas provide a good dose of potassium, which can help regulate blood pressure and support heart health.
These strawberry blackberry banana smoothies are easy to prepare with minimal prep time (less than 5 minutes). Additionally, the high water content of the fruits contributes to your daily hydration. If you use an unsweetened milk, another benefit of the recipe is no added sugar.
🥤 Strawberry Blackberry Smoothie with Yogurt
To make a blackberry strawberry banana smoothie with yogurt, gather these ingredients:
- ½ cup strawberries
- ¼ cup blackberries
- ½ frozen banana slices
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- handful of ice cubes
- milk of choice (to adjust the thickness)
Place the frozen berries, frozen banana, yogurt, and ice into your blender. Then, add a splash of your preferred milk. If you like your smoothie a bit sweeter, feel free to add a drizzle of maple syrup as a natural sweetener. For an extra boost of protein, you may incorporate a scoop of protein powder to the mixture.
Keep in mind, using frozen berries and fruit helps create a thicker consistency, but you can always substitute fresh fruit if you desire.
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth, with a creamy texture. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or ice cubes if needed. Once you’ve achieved the desired texture, pour the strawberry banana blackberry smoothie into your favorite glass or mason jar and enjoy!

Notes
💭 Expert Tips from Dietitian Summer Yule
This is a level 2 recipe (transition or weight maintenance). For a more nutritious smoothie, consider adding some oats, almond butter, or plant-based protein powder to increase the protein content and keep you full longer. If you’re using a Nutribullet or a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, blending fruits and other ingredients will be a breeze. Using non-dairy milk, such as unsweetened almond milk, makes for a smooth and creamy consistency that’s perfect for a plant-based, gluten-free, and healthy breakfast or snack. For a different nutritious twist on this strawberry blackberry banana smoothie recipe, consider including some of the following additional ingredients:- Nut butter: Add a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter (peanut butter, cashew butters, etc.) for extra creaminess and a boost of healthy fats.
- Spinach: Toss in a small handful of fresh spinach or other leafy greens for added fiber and a dose of vitamins and minerals without altering the smoothie’s fruity taste. (Note that this will give you a brown or green smoothie.)
- Fresh fruit: If you prefer, you can substitute fresh strawberries and blackberries for the frozen ones. Keep in mind that doing so may result in a slightly thinner smoothie, so add ice cubes as needed to achieve your preferred texture. You can use blueberries or raspberries in this recipe too.
