Did you know that strawberries are 91% water and blueberries are 84% water? Both berries are rich in antioxidants! Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C, manganese, folate, and potassium. While blueberries are a good source of vitamins K, C, A, E, B6, manganese, and copper. A randomized controlled trial found that blueberry supplementation significantly reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression compared to placebo.
Ingredients + Substitutions
There are only a few ingredients in my strawberry banana blueberry smoothie, so if you’re missing one of them, you can try these tips:
- Frozen fruit: If you only have fresh fruit, no worries! You can still whip up a strawberry blueberry banana smoothie, but you will need some ice to get the texture just right.
- Milk: I always use almond milk since that’s my favorite and what I tend to have on-hand, though you can use any plant-based milk you like best.
- Protein powder: Want a more filling experience so your smoothie eats like a meal? Plant-based protein powder added in helps you feel fuller for longer, making this the perfect breakfast for a busy morning.

Servings Ideas
Some people love just making a smoothie to go, while others like to enjoy it as part of a full breakfast. If you’re in the latter group, serve it with my protein avocado toast, almond butter toast, eggless fluffy pancakes, or overnight oats with water.
Storage Tips
Unfortunately, fresh smoothies don’t last forever, and any leftovers will need to be consumed within 12 hours. Another option is to freeze leftover smoothie in ice cube trays or popsicle molds to enjoy another day!
FAQ
When you make them yourself and don’t add sugar, a strawberry banana and blueberry smoothie is definitely good for you. You’re getting lots of vitamins and minerals, and if you add protein powder, it can be all you need for a healthy breakfast on the go or to refuel after an intense workout.
The most common smoothie mistakes involve using fresh fruit, resulting in a not-so-cold smoothie, adding in additional sweeteners (which are really unnecessary), adding too much ice, and not blending long enough. Follow my recipe for a balanced strawberry banana blueberry smoothie that uses frozen fruits and plant-based milk, and blend for 30-60 seconds to get that creamy texture.
