Nutritious Summer Berry Smoothie: Superfood Greens Drink

There’s nothing better than a simple summer berry smoothie recipe, especially in warm months! It’s cool, refreshing, and perfectly sweet! This smoothie is a great way to include greens in your diet.

Smoothies are something the entire family can benefit from. We like giving our kids the option to create their own smoothies. They come up with some awesome combinations! Bonus: They’ll never guess they’re consuming a serving of our Super Greens Powder!

Healthy Berry Smoothie Recipe Additions

This recipe is impressive on its own, but we like to change things up occasionally. Here are some of our favorite smoothie additions. Note that some of these ingredients will create a greener smoothie, as shown above.

• Organic hemp hearts/seeds
• Organic cacao nibs
• Organic frozen okra
• Organic raw nuts
• Organic unsweetened almond butter
• Organic chia seeds
• Organic matcha
• Organic turmeric
• Organic Ceylon cinnamon
• Organic raw cacao powder
• Organic unsweetened freeze-dried fruit
• Organic unsweetened shredded coconut

You can also customize this berry smoothie to fit what’s in season or what you have on hand! Get creative! Swap the frozen mixed berries for fresh mulberries, strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries. Add a sprig of mint from the garden or some leafy greens from your local farmer’s market.

We recommend using at least one frozen ingredient to keep your smoothie creamy. You could also reduce the Cancer-Fighting Super Greens Mix amount to 1 tablespoon and add 1 tablespoon of our Super Food Reds Powder. This increases the number of superfoods, and the fruity powders in our red blend complement the bananas perfectly!

Allergy-Friendly Ingredients for Berry Smoothies

This berry smoothie recipe uses simple ingredients to create one filling breakfast or snack! Here’s why we chose each element.

Organic Banana: Bananas are an inexpensive ingredient that sticks to your ribs. They’re fantastic for your gut health as their fiber is considered prebiotic. (1) We love keeping a bunch on hand to feed growing little ones!

Use super-ripe bananas for best results. You don’t have to worry about using the prettiest banana, either! I find that the ugliest bananas taste the sweetest.

Organic Mixed Berries: This ingredient is a freezer staple. We love to incorporate them into yogurt, oatmeal, and smoothies! I prefer purchasing berries in bulk as it’s more cost-effective. Of course, you can always flash-freeze berries from your garden or that you find on sale. I love using a blend with cherries because it creates a gorgeous pink smoothie!

While this ingredient makes the smoothie beautiful, it also serves a deeper purpose. Berries are full of antioxidants that fight against free radicals. (2) What a tasty way to fight inflammation!

Organic Greens: Add a veggie boost to this smoothie by including your favorite greens! We recommend using spinach or kale. Both greens are cancer-fighting, making them an excellent addition to any meal!

Spinach contains not just one but two compounds that can slow cancer growth. (3) It also includes a hefty amount of iron. Kale is part of the cruciferous family and is among the best vegetables for your body.

Kale’s cancer-fighting compounds come from a phytonutrient activated when the kale is crushed, chewed, or chopped. (4)

Organic Avocado: This ingredient creates a creamy smoothie! Adding ½ an avocado to your smoothie is enough to tide you over until lunch! Avocados are among the best fats; consuming them can help you maintain a healthy weight. (5)

In America, avocados are associated with guacamole and other Tex-Mex-inspired foods, but they are also a common addition to sweets in different countries. They add decadence to any dessert.

Want to see for yourself? Try our Avocado Chocolate Mousse! You’ve never had a pudding like this before. If you don’t have fresh avocados on hand, you can always use frozen.

Mama Z’s Cancer-Fighting Super Greens: This amazing super greens powder contains cancer-fighting ingredients. A few stand-out elements include:

• Organic raw cacao powder- Full of antioxidants that fight free radicals (6)
• Organic chlorella powder– A detoxing agent that binds to heavy metals (7)
• Organic ginkgo leaf powder- Can improve mental health (8)
• Organic guarana powder– Great for boosting cognitive function (9)

Adding one serving of Super Greens Powder to this smoothie gives your body an extra boost! This DIY mix is one of the most beneficial things you can add to your pantry shelves.

Organic Unsweetened Almond or Coconut-Milk Beverage: We avoid traditional milk to keep this recipe dairy-free. Almond or coconut milk has a smooth taste, and you’re avoiding hormones that tend to leech into dairy.

When choosing your beverage, be sure to grab the unsweetened variety. You wouldn’t believe the amount of sugar hiding in other types!

Make a Super Food Summer Berry Smoothie

This recipe takes just 5 minutes to prepare and makes enough for one person. It is simple enough for even novice chefs to create.

You can make individual smoothie packs by placing the banana, berries, super greens powder, spinach, and avocado in a small freezer bag. When it’s time to make breakfast, all you have to do is add almond milk and blend!
