- Milk: You can use organic milk, coconut milk, almond milk, or even water in this smoothie. I recommend using milk or coconut milk if you like thick smoothies.
- Collagen: Using organic collagen gives this Mango Berry Protein Smoothie 8 grams of protein! Collagen is tasteless and transforms this all fruit smoothie into a protein packed snack that keeps me full all afternoon long.

Tips for Berry Protein Smoothie Without Banana
- Using frozen berries is key to get a thick smoothie. While fresh fruit will work, it won't give you that thick and creamy texture. If you don't have blueberries or blackberries, you can use a mixed berry blend or even strawberries or raspberries too!
- You can use any kind of milk in this smoothie. While I prefer coconut milk, cow's milk, almond milk or oat milk also work.
- You can adjust the milk to get the consistency you like, less milk for even thicker or a little more milk if you want it more juice-like.
- Feel free to switch up the berries if you prefer. This Berry Protein Smoothie is also delicious with strawberries, raspberries, and especially mulberries!
- You can top this organic protein smoothie with more fresh berries.
- If you want to make this into a meal, make it a protein smoothie bowl and add Honey Almond Coconut Granola or your other favorite toppings like chia seeds, hemp seeds or even a drizzle of nut butter like peanut butter or almond butter.

Recipe FAQ's
In this Berry Protein Smoothie without banana, I use organic frozen mango to give it a thick and creamy texture! This is very similar to banana, but without the banana flavor.
Frozen mango is the best substitute for banana as it makes smoothies thicka and creamy, just like banana, but without the banana flavor.
Yes, feel free to use cow's milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or almond milk. You can also use water, but if you like thick smoothies, I'd recommend cow's milk or coconut milk for the best results.
You can! You can really use any berries that you prefer, or even a mixed berry blend if you buy frozen fruit for smoothies.
You can, but using fresh berries in smoothies will make them more juice-like if you don't reduce liquid. So, if you're using only fresh blueberries and blackberries, then reduce the liquid by half and see how it goes. You can always add more milk but you can't take it out.
You can, you don't need the collagen, but it's just what gives this extra protein. You could also use your favorite protein powder instead if you prefer or even add in some vanilla yogurt for added protein.
Yes, feel free to use your favorite protein powder. Collagen just is my favorite protein powder 🙂
Always start with less liquid for thick smoothies, you can always add in more as needed. Use a blender tamper when blending as this will allow you to use less liquid and still mix up the smoothie well. If you don't have a blender tamper just use a spatula.
Yes! Just pour into a bowl and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, granola, a drizzle of peanut butter or even sunflower seed butter.
I don't recommend it as it won't stay as thick and creamy.
You can, but I don't recommend it as it's not as good as when it's first blended.
