Blackberry Smoothie Recipe (No Banana)

This Healthy Blackberry Smoothie is the perfect way to start your day. Made without banana, it’s amazingly rich and creamy, and packed with Vitamin C.

Have you noticed that most smoothie recipes have banana in them?

I don’t love bananas. I feel like their flavor overtakes all the other ingredients, and they’re almost a little too thick for my liking.

That’s why I made this Blackberry Smoothie without banana.

Ingredients needed

• Frozen Blackberries
• Frozen Pineapple
• Greek Yogurt
• Almond Milk
• Honey (optional)

How to make a blackberry smoothie

• Add frozen blackberries, pineapple, yogurt, almond milk, to blender. Process until smooth.

Recipe tips

• Use frozen blackberries and pineapple. They will help thicken the smoothie and keep it extra cold.
• Use whatever type of milk you prefer. Almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk and dairy milk are all great options.
• To make a vegan blackberry smoothie, swap out the dairy yogurt for vegan yogurt, and omit the honey.
• Add flax seeds, hemp seeds, or protein powder to increase the nutritional value of this banana-free smoothie.

What goes well with blackberries in a smoothie?

This simple recipe uses only blackberries, pineapple, yogurt and almond milk to make a creamy and delicious smoothie. However, there are so many other ingredients you can add in:

• Milks: Almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk and dairy milk.
• Protein Options: Flax seeds, hemp seeds, or protein powder.
• Fruits: Strawberry, mango, peaches, banana, blueberries, raspberries, orange, apple.
• Veggies: Spinach or kale.
