How to make a berry smoothie
- Place 1 cup almond milk, banana, berries, and 1 tablespoon honey into a blender. Blend until smooth. You may need to add more milk and/or stir the mixture partway through blending. All blenders are different and have different power, so the amount of milk needed is dependent on blender strength and your milkshake texture preference.
- Taste the smoothie and add sweetener as desired. Alone it’s not very sweet, so if you want it more ice cream tasting, use sweetener or honey.
- Serve crumbled cookies (like a crust). Makes one large or 2 small servings.
Expert Tips
- When blending your milkshake, you will need to stop and stir throughout because of the amount of frozen fruit in this recipe.

- Buy pre-frozen fruit if you want this smoothie quicker than it would take to freeze fresh fruit!

I love that you used banana instead of the ice cream .Bon Courage
Love that you used bananas in place of ice cream for a healthier treat! I wish I was sipping on one right now!
A whole wall of milkshake flavors? That sounds crazy…and awesome!!! I love that this has the hidden frozen bananas in place of ice cream…makes me feel better about having 2 shakes. Wink, wink!
I love your summer plans to try every yogurt shop – we are pretty much stuck on menchies…but I am LOVING this shake
Beautiful color; I bet it tasted great.
This milkshake is so awesome- I love how it’s naturally sweetened and packed full of nutrients without too many ingredients 🙂
That purple hue is HEAVENLY! I wish we had a milkshake place around us. Well, maybe not because I’d have to walk to and from the place in order to not go up a pants size (or 3). 🙂
That sounds like the milkshake place of my dreams. I’d never get to the food either! This skinny milkshake sounds great. I really like blackberries in smoothies, but they sound even better in a milkshake!
Oh that milkshake shop sounds SO good! I think I would be tempted to go every single day. But I like your idea of trying every yogurt shop in your area! This shake looks gorgeous, Dorothy! I love that it’s skinny and full of flavor!
Wow, I need that milkshake place in my life. Seriously in your neighborhood? Lucky lucky! There’s this amazing ice cream shop in DC’s Georgetown that has a bazillion flavors, but I have to drive a half hour to get there. Which is fine, because they have fudge, too!
This looks perfect. Love the pie twist at the top, too! I always want some crumbly joy with my milkshake! I rate it 5 ice cream cones. 🙂
