For 1 serving
Gather all ingredients and ensure your blender is ready. For best results, use a high-speed blender.
Pour the unsweetened almond milk (or your chosen milk) into the blender first. This helps the blades move freely and prevents ingredients from sticking.
Add the plain non-fat Greek yogurt, frozen mixed berries, and hemp hearts to the blender. If desired, add the optional honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Secure the lid and start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and thick, with no visible berry chunks.
If the mixture is too thick to blend, stop the blender, use a tamper or spatula to push down the ingredients towards the blades, and add 1-2 tablespoons more milk if necessary, then continue blending.
Once smooth and creamy, pour the Triple Berry Greek Yogurt into a serving bowl or glass.
Serve immediately. For an extra boost, consider topping with a few fresh berries, a sprinkle of granola, or a drizzle of nut butter.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For an even thicker consistency, reduce the amount of liquid slightly or add 1/4 cup of ice cubes. For a thinner smoothie, add more milk until desired consistency is reached.
- 2To boost the protein even further, consider adding 1/2 scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder. This will also help thicken the mixture.
- 3Meal Prep Tip: Prepare the dry ingredients (hemp hearts) and freeze the berries in individual portions. In the morning, just add liquid and yogurt to the blender for a quick meal.
- 4Don't overblend: While you want it smooth, overblending can sometimes warm the mixture. Blend just until creamy and combined.
Adapt it for your goals.

Frequently asked questions
While you can use fresh berries, frozen berries are recommended as they provide the thick, cold consistency without needing to add ice, which can dilute the flavor.
