You might think it's difficult to make a creamy breakfast smoothie without using bananas or yogurt. But this berry smoothie recipe is here to prove you wrong.

Everyone loves a smoothie. One of my favorites is this avocado smoothie. Made correctly, a good smoothie is like a healthy gelato you can eat for breakfast (winning!). But, not everyone loves bananas or yogurt, and lots of smoothie recipes use exactly that to achieve a creamy consistency.

The secret to achieving that sought after creaminess, is to use the correct ration of frozen berries to almond milk. I'm going to show you how to make a cold, creamy berry smoothie with almond milk - no bananas in sight!

🛒Ingredients

Frozen Raspberries: Frozen raspberries are what gives this smoothie a creamy consistency without using bananas. If you're going to make a smoothie with no bananas, you'll need to replace them with something that has substance, like frozen fruit. When blended with almond milk, frozen fruit has a slushy like consistency that is the perfect subsitute for bananas or yogurt.
Blueberries: Choose fresh blueberries. You'll get the ideal consistency from a combination of fresh and frozen berries.
Strawberries: Choose fresh strawberries for the creamiest berry smoothie.
Almond Milk: I love the nutty taste of almond milk in smoothies, but if you have a nut allergy, feel free to use any plant based milk you prefer.

You can also incorporate a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder for added protein. Consider adding a tablespoon of nut butter, such as almond or cashew butter, for extra creaminess.
Berry Oatmeal Smoothie: In a blender, combine the original recipe with ¼ cup of rolled oats and blend until smooth. This variation adds a satisfying texture and a touch of fiber to the smoothie. You can also sprinkle some granola on top for an extra crunch.
Citrus Burst: Replace the almond milk with freshly squeezed orange juice for a bright and refreshing citrus twist. Add a teaspoon of grated ginger for a zingy kick. If desired, a tablespoon of honey can be used as a natural sweetener.
Chocolate Berry Bliss: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the original recipe for a rich chocolate flavor. You can also incorporate a scoop of chocolate-flavored protein powder for added protein.

❄️Storage Instructions

To store triple berry smoothie with almond milk, transfer any leftover portions to airtight containers, such as glass jars or bottles, and refrigerate them promptly. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but it's best to consume them as soon as possible to retain their freshness and nutritional value.

Before consuming, give the stored smoothie a good shake or stir to ensure proper blending of ingredients that may have separated. If desired, you can also freeze the smoothies in ice cube trays for longer storage, then transfer the frozen cubes to a freezer bag for up to a month. Thaw the frozen cubes in the refrigerator overnight or blend them directly into a smoothie for a quick and refreshing treat.
