Last week, we tried this dairy-free very berry smoothie and WOW… I couldn’t believe how good it was. Berries aren’t just delicious, they also have great health benefits, according to Food Network.
Blueberries contain fiber, are a rich source of antioxidant vitamin C, vitamin K and manganese. Research has found that blueberries may help prevent prostate cancer and protect against heart disease.
Raspberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber, phosphorus and selenium. Studies have shown that raspberries may be useful in preventing esophageal and liver cancer. Raspberries have also been shown to help control blood sugar in diabetics and help prevent liver damage.
Blackberries contain fiber, vitamins C and K and manganese. Blackberries have been found to have the highest amount of antioxidants – higher than the other berries mentioned above! They’re also bursting with all types of phytochemicals, which have been shown to help fight or prevent cancers like liver, colon, lung and esophogeal. Blackberries also contain quercetin, an antioxidant that may help decrease the risk of heart disease.

If You Love Berries, This One’s For You
Now that we’ve found one smoothie we love, we have been on a mission to find more combinations that the whole family can enjoy. While it seems like an easy task, when you have kids with particular tastes, it’s a challenge. We are excited to introduce you to this dairy-free very berry smoothie!
I’ve always been more of a fan of fresh vs. frozen, but found that we were able to get a lot more for our money by going frozen this time around. Fresh berries can be super expensive! Using frozen berries does have its perks, as it takes the place of ice, giving your smoothie a colder, more frothy texture.

Don’t forget, you can add in additional fruits to change it up a bit, though this dairy-free very berry smoothie is amazing as is!

I was thinking to try a new smothie recipe! And I was wondering how is to use frozen fruit. Thanks for the idea! Sounds great!
I love smoothies because they are so easy to switch up ingredients. I really want to try a few new smoothies but I always forget to grab ingredients to make them.
I love a good smoothie and this dairy free one looks so bright and colorful! I need to make this for myself soon!!
This looks so refreshing – I love how you added cranberry juice! I am not vegan, but I do avoid dairy when I can. I’d love to give this a try – great way to kick off the new year (with some healthy smoothies!).
I love berries and this smoothie sounds and looks like a little piece of heaven! I think it’s better to use almond or coconut milk.
My daughters love a berry smoothie. I love that your version is free of dairy. i can’t wait to try this recipe.
I’ve been trying to eat dairy-free for awhile now and it’s really working out. This smoothie seems perfect for my morning breakfasts. It’s harder to go dairy-free when it comes to morning meals.
