Mixed Berry Smoothie
Mixed Berry Smoothie – the best super easy, dairy free, healthy berry blast smoothie with banana, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries!
This is the ultimate breakfast smoothie. Adult and kid-friendly all around. It’s just as loved as our Tropical Smoothie Jetty Punch smoothie!
The acai gives this smoothie the best berry flavoring you can’t get from just strawberry, blueberries, and raspberries. If you can’t find acai juice from the grocery store, you can use acai powder. That’s what the juice shop I used to work at used in their berry smoothies.
Do you make a mixed berry smoothie with milk or water?
I prefer milk! Water dilutes the flavor of a smoothie so much. Milk helps the smoothie stay creamy, sweet, and delicious.
You could use apple juice or orange juice if milk isn’t your thing.
What are the best ingredients to put in a smoothie?
For me, the most important ingredient in a smoothie is a frozen banana. A frozen banana gives a smoothie the best creamy flavor you can’t really get from any other fruit.
If you wanted to add some vegetables, spinach is a great option. It will change the color a little bit. But it won’t change the flavor at all. So it’s a great option to add some extra nutritional value to your smoothie.
It’s also important have a high powdered blender especially with berry smoothies. Berries have little seeds in them. So a high powdered blender makes sure all of those little seeds get fully blended and smooth.
Mixed Berry Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk or almond milk
- 1/4 cup acai juice
- 1/2 cup sliced frozen bananas (about 1/2 banana)
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup frozen raspberries or blackberries (or you can do all strawberries)
- 1 Tablespoon honey (or Truvia/Stevia)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to the blender in the order listed. Blend on high for at least 3 minutes or until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Add more coconut milk if it’s too thick. Taste; then add 1 Tablespoon of honey/truvia/stevia (or a little more as needed) if the smoothie is too tart. I usually add 1 Tablespoon.
- Serve and enjoy.
This looks so yummy! The beautiful color 😉

Love acai bowls. Can’t wait to try this smoothie!!! 🙂
Thank you so much for this recipe! I recently went on vacation to SoCal and was missing the Banzai Bowls. Tried this recipe today and it tasted just like the original
