Tips for the Best Berry Blast Smoothie
- Choose Quality Berries: Use ripe, fresh, or high-quality frozen berries to maximize flavor and nutrient content in your Berry Blast Smoothie.
- Layer Ingredients Properly: Add berries and yogurt first, then liquids; this prevents the blender from getting stuck and ensures a smooth blend every time.
- Adjust Sweetness Naturally: Taste before adding honey—sometimes ripe berries provide enough sweetness, avoiding extra sugars.
- Don’t Overblend: Blend just until smooth to keep the vibrant color and fresh taste from fading or warming up.
- Freeze Your Fruit: Keep berries frozen to achieve a thick, chilled smoothie without needing ice, which can water down the flavor.

What if my smoothie is too thick or too thin — how can I fix that?
If it’s too thick, add a splash of almond milk or orange juice gradually, blending until you reach your desired consistency. If too thin, add a handful of frozen berries or a spoonful of yogurt to thicken it up.
