Saskatoon Smoothie Recipe

Prepare fruit

If using fresh Saskatoon berries, rinse and pat dry. If using frozen, measure directly from the freezer. Peel and roughly chop the banana.

Combine ingredients

Add the frozen Saskatoon berries, chopped banana, Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, and fresh lemon juice to a blender.

Blend until smooth

Secure the blender lid and blend on high for 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and homogenous. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then continue blending.

Add boosters

If using, add ground flaxseed or chia seeds, and vanilla extract to the blender. For a colder, thicker smoothie add the ice cubes. Blend an additional 15–20 seconds until seeds are incorporated and ice is crushed to your liking.

Taste and adjust

Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener (honey/maple) or a splash more milk to adjust sweetness and consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and blend briefly.

Serve

Pour the smoothie into two glasses. Garnish each with a tablespoon of fresh Saskatoon berries (or berries of choice) and a mint leaf if using. Serve immediately.
