Description

The Purple People Eater Smoothie is a deliciously vibrant and healthy berry-based drink perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a festive Halloween treat. Packed with antioxidants and creamy Greek yogurt, this smoothie blends banana, frozen berries, and a hint of vanilla to create a naturally sweet and refreshing beverage that’s quick to prepare and enjoyable for all ages.


Ingredients

Fruits and Dairy

  • 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup frozen blackberries
  • ½ cup frozen cherries
  • ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt

Liquids and Flavorings

  • ¾ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional

  • ½ cup ice (optional, for thicker texture)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including banana, frozen berries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey or maple syrup if using, vanilla extract, and ice if you want a thicker smoothie.
  2. Combine in Blender: Add the banana, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice into a blender.
  3. Blend Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no chunks remaining.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant color and fresh flavors at their best.

Notes

  • For a spooky Halloween twist, top with whipped cream, edible eyes, or purple sprinkles to delight kids and guests.
  • To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute vanilla Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • Add a handful of fresh spinach to sneak in some greens; it won’t affect the smoothie’s rich purple color or taste.
  • If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to thin it to your desired consistency.
