Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh mulberries, washed and dried
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Instructions:
Prepare the Mulberries: Wash the fresh mulberries thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel and remove any stems if necessary.
Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the fresh mulberries, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract. If you prefer a colder smoothie, you can also add a handful of ice cubes.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more almond milk, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if needed. Blend again briefly to combine.
Serve: Pour the mulberry smoothie into glasses and garnish with fresh mulberries or a slice of banana if desired.
Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your refreshing mulberry smoothie immediately! It’s best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours if needed.
Feel free to customize your mulberry smoothie by adding other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or mangoes for extra flavor and nutrition. You can also incorporate spinach or kale for added greens. Experiment with different combinations until you find your perfect blend!
