Bananaberry Smoothie

Despite the freezing cold temps, I’ve been craving lots of smoothies.  There’s something clean and refreshing about a smoothie.  You wanna know something weird though… when I drink a smoothie for breakfast, I drink a cup of coffee too.

See, weird.  Anyone else do that? Or am I solo on this one?

Despite my weirdness, this smoothie is perfect.  It also makes for a great kiddie snack too!

Here’s everything you need:

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mango nectar

Throw everything in a blender and blend away 🙂  If you’re using all fresh fruit, add a handful of ice cubes to make it nice a slushy.

You can also change up the flavors of this smoothie by switching out different fruits or a different flavor nectar.

Someone else enjoyed the smoothie too….

This was clearly the highlight of her day 😉

    I have been craving ice cream, but have not given in since it has been so cold and I am wearing enough layers that I feel like the stay puff marshmallow man. I may have to give in while sitting by the fire! This looks delicious!

    Seriously these pictures of M look SO grown up! It’s like she just matured an entire year before my eyes. So cute!

    I know! I can’t believe how big she is either! It amazes me that she’s my kid.

    I drink coffee or tea with smoothies too. Oh, and if I make one in the afternoon (or a protein drink,) I have a cup of hot water with it!

    I never drink smoothies in the winter, but in the summer when I drink them I DEFINITELY still have coffee!!

    I love that stripey straw! Is it re-usable like the steel one?

  11. Estela - Weekly Bite said on January 11, 2011 at 10:13 am

    No, its one of those biodegradable ones. I wish it was reusable 🙂

    I just made a smoothie for DD and I before sitting down and seeing your post. LOL
    I used fresh papaya, frozen banana, kiwi, ice and some almond breeze.

    I have coffee no matter what I have for breakfast! 🙂 Smoothies are the highlight of my little one’s day, too. This one looks tasty!

    You are not alone !! But then again, I am also a little weird ;P

    Yum! I don’t know who wouldn’t love a good, thick smoothie.

  17. Estela - Weekly Bite said on January 11, 2011 at 1:20 pm

    Its nice to know there’s other smoothie-coffee combo drinkers out there 🙂

    I always have coffee even if breakfast is a smoothie 🙂
    But it is WAY to cold here for smoothies. I still have a frozen one in my freezer…I should just have it this week or it will be there until spring!

    I am in a smoothie mood, too! And I’m with you…even with a smoothie, I need my coffee 🙂 It makes for a morning with a lot of bathroom trips! LOL!

    Ooh yum. Your first photo is so bright and summery. I love it!

    Great pics, even better recipe! 😉

    This looks delicious! Where can I find the mango nectar?

  24. Melanie Flinn said on January 12, 2011 at 1:41 am

    We are big into smoothies here- mostly for snacks. Your photos are amazing. Did you learn on your own, take classes?

  25. Estela - Weekly Bite said on January 12, 2011 at 6:34 am

    Thanks Melanie, thats so sweet of you!

    I haven’t taken any photography classes, I LOVE to though. Everything I’ve learned is from my own research and playing around obsessively with my camera 🙂

  26. Camille said on January 12, 2011 at 6:56 pm

    What brand of mango nectar did you use?

  27. Lauren said on January 12, 2011 at 8:56 pm

    Oh YUM! Can’t wait to try it <3

  28. Camby said on January 12, 2011 at 11:57 pm

    Use these same ingredients and substitute spinach in place of the yogurt. I promise it’s good! I use all frozen fruit and frozen bananas (let ripen, peel and freeze). Oh, I have coffee with my smoothie too!
