About this recipe
This berry shake blends frozen strawberries, blackberries and raspberries with banana and almond milk. Using frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit plus ice keeps the drink thick and cold from the start without watering it down.
Banana adds creaminess and natural sweetness, while vanilla and an optional touch of honey or maple syrup round out the flavor. Everything is made in one blender in under five minutes, making it a quick breakfast or snack.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a thicker shake?
Use frozen fruit and start with less plant milk. Add more liquid only if the blender needs it to move the mixture.
Can I make it without banana?
Yes, although the sweetness and texture will change. Add more frozen berries and adjust the milk gradually so it does not become runny.
How do I make it vegan?
Use plant milk and leave out the honey or choose the optional maple syrup. Serve immediately after blending for the best texture.
