Quick Berry Smoothie {#Recipe}

July 15, 2012 By 5 Comments

Last summer I made what has possibly been my favorite kitchen purchase of the past year, a Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender (affiliate link).  It’s been perfect for mixing up just the right amount of smoothie for the girls at breakfast (or a Mommy drink on a hot summer).

Recently, I whipped up a batch of my made-from-scratch banana bread and had one ripe banana left over, KG & I decided a berry smoothie would be a delicious addition to our brunch.  This was another perfect opportunity to spend some time with the girls in the kitchen while training them on how to create healthy recipes they will love even as adults.

Smoothies are perfect for whipping up as you’re running out the door and for sneaking some nutrition into your day.

I love putting bananas in with berry smoothies. I usually use flavored yogurt but I have a feeling it would taste much better with some plain yogurt. Thanks for sharing your recipe Amanda.

I usually always have plain yogurt on hand since that's what we eat, but I'm sure it would be even more flavorful with a flavored yogurt!

Oh yeah! We love them for breakfast or for a snack...and there are so many different ways you can go with it! Try adding more or less berries/bananas to change the flavor or add mini-chocolate chips for a treat!
