Berry Bliss Shake-Up Recipe

Description:

The Berry Bliss Shake-Up is a vibrant purple-red smoothie, showcasing the beautiful colors of the mixed berries. The creamy texture is punctuated by the occasional burst of whole berries and the subtle crunch of chia seeds. A layer of fresh berries on top adds a touch of visual appeal and a refreshing element to each sip. The overall look is naturally vibrant, healthy, and inviting, making it perfect for a refreshing breakfast or a light dessert. The addition of fresh mint provides a subtle hint of coolness and a fragrant aroma that enhances the already delicious flavor profile.


Ingredients:

  • - 1 cup mixed frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • - 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • - Pinch of cinnamon
  • - Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Instructions:

  1. 1. Combine frozen berries, Greek yogurt, milk, honey/maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a high-powered blender. If using fresh mint, add it now as well.
  2. 2. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon or two more of milk until desired consistency is reached.
  3. 3. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed, adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
  4. 4. Pour the mixture into a tall glass or mason jar.
  5. 5. For an extra touch of visual appeal, layer the shake with additional fresh berries. Gently spoon a layer of berries into the glass on top of the smoothie.
  6. 6. If you are not consuming immediately, cover the glass and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and thicken the shake. This will create a creamier texture.
  7. 7. Before serving, give the shake a gentle stir to redistribute the berries and chia seeds.
  8. 8. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a few extra berries for an attractive presentation. Enjoy immediately.
