Why Make This

  • This smoothie is a quick breakfast option that comes together with just a handful of ingredients.
  • You can use any fresh or frozen berries, letting you customize with whatever you have on hand.
  • A ripe banana naturally sweetens the smoothie and is perfect for using up leftover fruit.

Banana + Berries = Smoothie!

One of my father's favorite anytime indulgences is making a banana smoothie: one ripe banana, some of our homemade plum jam, plain yogurt, and honey. In the late fall, he'll swap out the jam for ripe kiwi-fruit.

You can add any kind of berry you would like to this banana smoothie.

A ripe banana adds most of the naturally occurring sugars you need, and it always seems you have a lonely remaining banana, making it a great candidate for a banana smoothie.

Personally, I'm a blueberry banana smoothie or strawberry smoothie fan. Actually, I can't remember ever meeting a smoothie I didn't like (have great plans for the papaya ripening on the counter).
