Ninja Blender Smoothie Making Tools
Ninja Blender Smoothie Making Tools

A standard blender is all that is required to make Ninja Blender smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using any one of the many available Ninja Single Serve Blenders as they are quick to set up and very easy to clean.

If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Ninja Blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.

For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.


How To Make The Ninja Blender Berry Good Day Smoothie

The Ninja Blender Berry Good Day smoothie is very easy to make:

  • Step 1: Place blueberries, pineapple, raspberries, strawberries, plain nonfat frozen yogurt, goji berries, water, and crushed ice into a blender and secure the lid.
  • Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
  • Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
  • Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Recipe Tips And Substitutions

If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.

Coconut milk can be substituted for the nonfat frozen yogurt to make this delicious smoothie dairy-free.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Why are goji berries so healthy?

Goji berries, often referred to as “superfoods,” boast an impressive nutritional profile. They are densely packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. One of their most notable attributes is their high concentration of zeaxanthin and lutein, antioxidants that are beneficial for eye health and can potentially protect against age-related eye diseases. Goji berries also provide a good amount of vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fiber. Moreover, they contain all eight essential amino acids, making them an excellent plant-based protein source. Additionally, these berries have compounds that may have anti-inflammatory properties, support immune function, and promote healthy skin. Consumed in moderation, goji berries can be a valuable addition to a nutritious diet due to their wide range of health-promoting compounds.

Do blueberries have a lot of sugar?

Blueberries, like many fruits, naturally contain sugars, but they wouldn’t be classified as having a “lot” of sugar compared to many processed foods. In a typical serving of blueberries (about 1 cup or 148 grams), there are roughly 15 grams of natural sugars. However, it’s essential to consider the context: these sugars come with a host of beneficial nutrients, including dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and potent antioxidants. While they contain naturally occurring sugars, blueberries also provide significant health benefits and can be part of a balanced diet without concerns of excessive sugar intake.
