Health benefits of this blackberry smoothie
Smoothies are a great way to energize you for the day ahead. The main ingredient in this tasty smoothie is blackberries. Blackberries are low in calories but high in fiber, making them a smart choice for anyone looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
The deep color of blackberries is due to the anthocyanins (flavonoids),—a compound shown to improve immunity and help combat oxidative stress in the body. By neutralizing harmful free radicals, blackberries can potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Blackberries are also an excellent source of vitamin C, providing a significant portion of the recommended daily intake in just one serving. Vitamin C plays a crucial role in supporting the immune system, promoting healthy skin, and aiding in the absorption of iron. Incorporating blackberries into your diet can help bolster your body's natural defenses and keep you feeling your best.
What you need to make this blackberry smoothie
- Blackberries (fresh or frozen)

How to make this refreshing smoothie
Put blackberries, honeydew, mango, coconut water, and ice into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Enjoy immediately or put into an insulated tumbler or mason jar with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator. Consume within 24 hours.
If meal-prepping this smoothie, add blackberries, chopped honeydew melon, and chopped mango to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to three months. When you're ready to prepare it, add all ingredients to a high-powered blender with coconut water and blend until smooth. There's no need to add ice because this smoothie will be frosty, almost like a soft serve. Yum!

Recipe FAQs
Absolutely! Blueberries are a wonderful substitute.
Many blackberry smoothie recipes contain dairy or plant-based milk. We chose coconut water because it provides natural sweetness without added sugar or syrups. It's also high in potassium, important for maintaining proper electrolyte balance, and a mineral in food shown to help lower high blood pressure.
This smoothie is low in fat. Plus, the high fiber and water content help you to feel full without adding excessive calories. It's one of our favorite weight loss smoothies. Finally, the nutrients in this smoothie will boost your energy, helping to fuel an amazing workout!

I love this smoothie. The melon really makes this feel hydrating and adds to the sweetness along with the coconut water.
