Introduction

Whole 30 Smoothies are a quick and delicious way to nourish your body while sticking to the Whole 30 guidelines. Made with wholesome ingredients like frozen mixed berries, nut butter, and chia seeds, these smoothies are naturally sweetened and perfect for breakfast or a snack.

A creamy pink smoothie fills a clear round glass nearly to the top, showing small red and purple berry bits inside. On top, bright red raspberries, a red strawberry with green stem, and deep blue blueberries rest as decoration. A pink and white striped paper straw is placed inside the glass leaning outward. The glass is set on a white marbled surface with scattered fresh berries blurred in the background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup frozen mixed berries
1/2–3/4 cup milk of choice (see notes)
1–2 tablespoons cashew butter (or any nut or seed butter of choice)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 frozen banana (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Add the frozen mixed berries, milk of choice, cashew butter, chia seeds, and frozen banana (if using) to a high-powered blender.
Step 2: Blend on high for about 30 seconds until all ingredients are well combined and the smoothie reaches your desired consistency. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk and blend again.
Step 3: Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. Garnish with extra chia seeds or berries if desired.

Tips & Variations

Swap mixed berries for other Whole 30-compliant frozen fruits like mango, pineapple, or peaches for a tropical flavor.
Add a handful of spinach or kale to increase the smoothie’s nutritional value without altering the taste much.
Boost protein by adding a scoop of Whole 30-compliant collagen powder or hemp seeds.
Enhance flavor with a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract without adding sugar.
Substitute cashew butter with almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or macadamia nut butter as preferred.
For creamier texture, add a small amount of avocado or coconut cream.

Storage

These smoothies are best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir or blend again before drinking as the smoothie may thicken. You can also freeze individual portions for up to 1 month—thaw overnight in the fridge and blend before serving.
