What Ingredients are in Creamy Berry Bliss?
Making Tyler’s Awesome Smoothie is honestly simpler than you’d think, which is probably why it’s called awesome. You’re basically combining a handful of ingredients that work together like they were meant to be best friends. The beauty of this smoothie is that each component plays a specific role, whether it’s adding creaminess, natural sweetness, or that satisfying thickness that makes you feel like you’re actually eating something substantial instead of just drinking your breakfast.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen mixed berries (Trader Joe’s brand works great)
- 1 (6 ounce) container plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 cup skim milk
- 5 teaspoons sugar substitute (Splenda is a popular choice)
- 1 apple, peeled and cored
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- 1 cup ice cubes (about 7 cubes)
One thing worth knowing about these ingredients is that they’re pretty flexible depending on what you have hanging around your kitchen. If you don’t have Trader Joe’s frozen berries, any frozen mixed berry blend works just fine. Same goes for the sugar substitute, really, though different brands have slightly different levels of sweetness. The apple is actually doing some important work here beyond just tasting good, so don’t skip it, but if you’re out of one variety, grab whatever apple looks fresh to you. For optimal results, the yogurt and milk combo serve as your protein powerhouses, so sticking with the plain versions keeps things balanced and lets the berries shine.
How to Make this Creamy Berry Bliss
Pour the skim milk and yogurt into your blender first, which might seem backwards but trust me, it creates a smooth base that keeps everything from getting stuck at the bottom.
Next, add your peeled apple and sugar substitute, letting the blender get a head start on breaking those down into the liquid before you throw in the heavy hitters.
Then dump in your frozen berries and ice cubes, and blend everything together for about 45 seconds to a minute until it reaches that perfect thick-but-drinkable consistency, where you can still get it through a straw but it actually feels substantial. For best results, use a blender with multiple speed settings to customize your texture and ensure even blending of the frozen ingredients.
If it’s too thick and looking more like a snow cone situation, add a splash more milk.
Top it off with a dollop of whipped cream, and honestly, that’s the part that makes people think you put way more effort into this than you actually did.
Make It Your Own
The best part about Tyler’s Awesome Smoothie? You can totally make it your own.
Want something more filling? Throw in a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of peanut butter to make it extra creamy and satisfying. If you like things sweeter, add a banana or a couple of dates instead of relying only on the sugar substitute.
Not a dairy person? No problem. Swap out the yogurt and milk for oat milk or coconut milk and you’ve got yourself a smoothie that works just as well.
Feeling adventurous? This is your chance to get creative. Toss in a handful of spinach if you want some greens (seriously, you won’t even taste it), or add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra nutrition and a cool texture.
If you’re into chocolate, a teaspoon of cocoa powder transforms the whole thing into a berry-chocolate dream. The frozen berries are doing the heavy lifting here, so don’t stress about getting it “perfect.”
Just pick one or two add-ins that sound good to you and blend away.
