Banana Berry Smoothie
Fruity and bright, balanced between sweet banana and the tartness of mixed berries.
Mixed berry packs, usually strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, are a freezer staple for smoothie fans. Each berry adds its own note: strawberry sweetness, raspberry acidity, blueberry colour. Berries in general are known for fibre and vitamin C and for being relatively low in sugar compared with tropical fruit. Agave syrup is optional; a ripe banana is often enough. The smoothie is vegan and quick, good for breakfast or as a snack between meals.
Any mix works; strawberries make it sweeter, raspberries and blackberries more tart.
Yes, as long as you sweeten with agave syrup rather than honey.
Yes, frozen berries and even a frozen banana work very well.
