Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this smoothie because I can make it with just a handful of everyday ingredients. Strawberries bring fresh sweetness, blueberries add a slightly tart berry flavor, and banana makes everything naturally creamy.

I also like how easy it is to customize. I can use fresh or frozen berries, switch the milk, leave out the yogurt, add seeds, or include protein powder. Using frozen fruit gives me an especially thick and frosty smoothie without needing much ice.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 ripe banana, preferably frozen
1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
3/4 cup milk or plant-based milk
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, optional
1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed, optional
1/2 cup ice cubes, optional

Directions

I add the milk to my blender first because the liquid helps the blades move easily and makes blending smoother.
I add the Greek yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, and banana.
If I want extra sweetness, I add honey or maple syrup. I also add chia seeds or ground flaxseed at this stage when I’m using them.
I blend everything on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
I check the consistency. If my smoothie is too thick, I add another splash of milk. If I want it thicker and colder, I add ice or additional frozen berries.
I blend again for about 20–30 seconds, or until I no longer see pieces of fruit.
I taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or consistency if necessary.
I pour it into a glass and serve it immediately while it’s cold and creamy.

Servings and Timing

I get approximately 2 small servings or 1 large smoothie from this recipe.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Servings: 1 large or 2 small smoothies

Variations

Strawberry Blueberry Protein Smoothie

I add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder when I want a more substantial smoothie. I usually add a little extra milk because protein powder can make the mixture thicker.

Strawberry Blueberry Spinach Smoothie

I add one or two handfuls of baby spinach before blending. I find the berry and banana flavors help balance the mild flavor of the spinach.

Strawberry Blueberry Oat Smoothie

I add about 1/4 cup of rolled oats for a thicker texture. I like blending the oats with the milk first when I want an especially smooth consistency.

Dairy-Free Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie

I replace the regular milk with almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk and use dairy-free yogurt. Frozen banana helps me maintain a creamy texture even without dairy.

Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie Without Banana

When I don’t want banana, I leave it out and add extra Greek yogurt, frozen strawberries, or a little avocado for creaminess. I may add honey or maple syrup if I want additional sweetness.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer drinking my Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie immediately after blending because that’s when the texture is thickest and freshest.

If I have leftovers, I pour them into an airtight jar or container and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. The smoothie may separate as it sits, so I shake it thoroughly or stir it before drinking.

I can also freeze the smoothie in ice cube trays. Once frozen, I transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe container. When I want another smoothie, I blend the frozen cubes with a splash of milk until creamy.

I don’t reheat this smoothie. I always serve it cold, and if refrigerated leftovers have become thin, I blend them again with frozen berries or a few ice cubes.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries and blueberries?

Yes. I actually like using frozen strawberries and blueberries because they make my smoothie thick, cold, and creamy without requiring much ice. I can also combine fresh and frozen berries.

Do I need to add sugar to a Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie?

I usually don’t need added sugar when my banana and berries are naturally sweet. I taste the smoothie after blending and add a little honey or maple syrup only when I think it needs extra sweetness.

Can I make this smoothie without yogurt?

Yes. I can leave out the yogurt and add a little extra banana, avocado, or plant-based yogurt for creaminess. I adjust the amount of milk until I get the consistency I prefer.

How do I make my Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie thicker?

I use frozen fruit, especially frozen banana and berries, and reduce the amount of milk slightly. I can also add Greek yogurt, chia seeds, rolled oats, or a few ice cubes for additional thickness.

Can I make a Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie ahead of time?

Yes, although I think it has the best texture immediately after blending. When I prepare it ahead, I keep it tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake or blend it again before serving.

Conclusion

This Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie is one of my favorite ways to combine two classic berries in a quick and refreshing drink. I love the balance of sweet strawberries, flavorful blueberries, creamy banana, and tangy Greek yogurt.
