Ingredients
- Milk: Make this raspberry and blueberry smoothie with milk of your choosing. You can use dairy milk, soy milk, oat milk, coconut, cashew, or almond milk. If you choose sweetened milk, make sure you reduce or eliminate the honey.
- Yogurt: Plain Greek or regular yogurt work best. Vanilla yogurt is also a great alternative - just omit the sweetener if you choose this.
- Berries: Use fresh or frozen raspberries and blueberries. A frozen berry blend also works here.
- Vanilla: Use a good quality vanilla. Make sure that you don't over do it - a little goes a long way!
- Honey: This is optional but recommended. You could use maple syrup, agave nectar, sugar, or a sugar-free alternative like monk fruit. Medjool dates are also a fabulous natural sweetener.

Pro Tips
- I recommend using a high speed blender to make this blueberry and raspberry smoothie since both raspberries and blueberries have seeds.
- While the optional add-ins do add nutrition, a little goes a long way. I recommend choosing just one to start.
- If you want a cold smoothie without adding ice, frozen fruit is the perfect choice.
- If your are lucky enough to be enjoying this when berries are at the peak of the season, you may not need any sweetener at all. You can taste the blended smoothie and only add the honey if you feel like it needs it.
- If you want to make this blueberry and raspberry smoothie without yogurt, simply omit it and add in a little more milk.
Variations
Feel free to play with this recipe and make it your own. Add in kale or spinach to get your greens in, or oats and almond butter to make it even more filling.
Other fruits such as blackberries, banana, and mango can also be used. Get creative and have fun!
FAQs
Do raspberries and blueberries have seeds in them?
Yes, raspberries and blueberries both have seeds in them. It's best to use a high speed blender to ensure that all the seeds are broken down properly and you get a smooth texture.
Can I make this with fresh berries?
Yes, absolutely! Fresh or frozen berries work great for this recipe. If you're using frozen berries, make sure you don't add extra ice to the blender until after you have checked the texture as it will already be nicely thickened.

Storage
This mixed berry smoothie is best when served immediately.
However, if you have any leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Make sure to give it a good stir or shake before enjoying!
Alternatively, you can also freeze the smoothie and enjoy as a slushy treat anytime.
I like to freeze it in a small ice-cube tray and then re-blend just before serving.
