Measure frozen vanilla yogurt, berries, and pineapple. If any fruit is fresh rather than frozen, measure the same amounts and plan to add 4 ice cubes in the Optional Enhancements section to achieve a cold, thick texture.

Thaw slightly if needed

If your frozen yogurt is rock-solid, let it sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes to soften slightly so it blends smoothly.

Blend

Add ingredients to blender

Place frozen vanilla yogurt in the blender first (this helps the blades engage), then add cranberries, blackberries, blueberries, and pineapple chunks. Pour in 1/2 cup cold water or milk, add the optional 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey if you want extra sweetness, and the 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice if using.

Add optional items

If using, add ice cubes (4) for thickness and 1 teaspoon chia or ground flaxseed for texture and nutrition.

Blend until smooth

Secure the lid and blend on high for 45–75 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula once if needed, then blend an additional 10–15 seconds.

Adjust & Serve

Check consistency and flavor

If the smoothie is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons more water or milk and pulse again. If it is too thin, add a few more tablespoons of frozen yogurt or a couple of ice cubes and blend to thicken. Taste and add up to 1 additional teaspoon of maple syrup or honey if more sweetness is desired.

Serve

Pour the Blair Storm Smoothie into two 12-ounce glasses (or one large glass). Optionally garnish with a few whole berries or a small pineapple wedge. Serve immediately.
