Start your day with a delicious smoothie packed with elderberry's immune-supporting benefits and antioxidant-rich berries.
Cooking Time: 10 min | Servings: 1 large serving | Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Elderberry Syrup
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- 1 small banana (or ½ for lower sugar)
- ¾ cup unsweetened yogurt (e.g., Whole milk, Greek, or coconut)
- 1 cup liquid (dairy milk, unsweetened almond milk, water, or coconut water)
- Optional functional upgrades (choose 1–2 max). Don’t overload!
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- ⅛ tsp (or pinch) of cinnamon
- A small handful of spinach
Method:
- Add all ingredients to a blender.
- Blend 30–45 seconds until thick and uniform.
- Taste. If you prefer more sweetness, add a drizzle of honey.
Why This Recipe Works:
- Elderberry syrup contributes immune-supportive anthocyanins.
- Blueberries reinforce that with additional polyphenols.
- Yogurt provides protein + gut-supportive cultures to complement immune pathways.
- Banana improves mouthfeel and rounds out acidity without sugar.
💡 Tip: Make it a bowl by using less liquid and topping with granola and sliced fruit.
