Because mornings are better with berries and a little boost.

Some mornings call for caffeine. Others call for berries — lots of them. This smoothie is my answer to rushed breakfasts, half-drunk coffees, and kids who suddenly decide they don’t like toast. It’s creamy, colorful, and surprisingly filling, even if you forget to eat again until lunchtime. I make this one with whatever frozen berries I’ve got stashed in the freezer.

What You’ll Need

• ½ cup frozen mixed berries
• ½ banana
• ½ cup spinach (optional, but great for a green boost)
• ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• ½ cup oat milk or almond milk
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
• A few ice cubes if your berries aren’t frozen (Optional)
• A splash of orange juice for a little zing (Optional)

How to Make It

1. Add all ingredients to your blender.
2. Blend until smooth, about 45 seconds if you’re using frozen berries.
3. Pour and enjoy right away.

Make ahead Tip

Got berries that are starting to wrinkle in the fridge? Toss them into a freezer bag and save them for this. Waste not, sip more.
