  • Change up the berries: Use blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or a store-bought frozen berry mix.
  • Boost nutrition: Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or protein powder for extra fiber and protein.
  • Make it dairy-free: Use almond or coconut yogurt instead of dairy yogurt.

🥧 What To Serve Mixed Berries and Banana Smoothie With?

This smoothie is satisfying on its own but also pairs nicely with a slice of whole-grain toast, a bowl of overnight oats, or a light veggie omelet for a balanced breakfast. For a lighter option, enjoy it as a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up alongside a handful of almonds or a small fruit salad.
