This berry purple power smoothie is pure berry goodness. With yogurt, coconut water, and tons of juicy berries, this drink is thick, refreshing, and extra creamy. No bananas present in this power combo—the berries are front and center.
Nothing brilliant or fancy here, just 6 easy ingredients. And—surprise—a banana is not one of them! Bananas are pretty common in smoothies (and a key ingredient in my favorite green smoothie) so if you’re not a fan OR are allergic to bananas, this is your power smoothie.

Choosing the Right Ingredients
This berry smoothie recipe is forgiving—you can mix up frozen and fresh berries, choose a flavored yogurt, add honey if desired, and substitute milk (dairy or nondairy) for coconut water. Play around with the ingredients and get it exactly to your liking.
Best Blender to Use
To process frozen fruits (berries) into a smooth consistency, you need something high-powered. This blender is a favorite option for smoothies. And if you have a Ninja Chopper, which also works as a blender, that works too.

Ingredients You’ll Need
Instructions
- Make sure you have a strong, powerful blender that will blend up the frozen berries. Add all of the ingredients to the blender in the order listed. Blend on high for at least 3 minutes or until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Add more coconut water if it’s too thick. Taste; then add 1 Tablespoon of honey (or a little more as needed) if the smoothie is too tart. I usually add 1 Tablespoon.
- Serve and enjoy. Store any leftover smoothie covered in the refrigerator for up to 8-10 hours.
