Let’s be real for a sec, if I could only have one meal for the rest of my life, it would 100% be a smoothie. And not just any smoothie. A berry smoothie. With almond milk. Thick, cold, slightly sweet, kind of like a hug in a cup. It’s not just a drink, it’s a whole moment.
And while it is delicious, the best part? It actually loves you back.
Here’s why my blender stays booked and busy:
1. Berries are tiny superheroes
Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, whatever you’ve got in the freezer, just know they’re loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and all the good stuff your skin, brain, and body love.
They’re literally out here fighting inflammation and aging while you sip something that tastes like dessert.
Bonus: They also help with digestion, brain health, and heart health. I mean?? Iconic behavior.
2. Almond milk is the underrated MVP
I always go for almond milk. It’s light, creamy, and way easier on the stomach (hello, dairy intolerance).
It adds that smooth texture I’m obsessed with, and it doesn’t overpower the flavour of the fruit, just blends in and lets the berries be the main character. We love a supportive queen.
3. It’s fast, filling, and makes you feel like you have your life together
There’s something about holding a smoothie in your hand that just makes you feel… well. Like yes, maybe I didn’t journal today, but I did blend frozen fruit with intention and sip it while pretending I’m the healthiest person alive.
Also, it’s actually filling. I’ll throw in some protein powder, chia seeds, or oats when I’m in my “meal prep era,” and boom, breakfast/lunch/dinner is sorted.
4. Smoothies are joy in a glass
There’s a reason I love them so much. They’re easy. They’re colourful. They’re happy.
And sometimes, after a long day or a stressful morning, that’s exactly what I need. Something simple. Something sweet. Something I don’t have to overthink.
So yes, this is your official reminder to get your blender out and romanticize your next smoothie moment.
Berry smoothies (with almond milk, obviously) = elite behavior.
And if you hear me calling it my favourite meal again… just let me live.
