How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh mulberries
- Ripe mulberries will be red or dark purple in color, small fruits, with a shiny and taut outer skin. When squeezed, they should still be firm and not mushy.
- Good mulberries have a characteristic light sweet and sour smell, not a sour smell like fermentation.
- Avoid choosing green fruits, bruised or spoiled ones.
How to choose fresh, delicious bananas
- It is advisable to choose a bunch of bananas that are not evenly colored (some yellow, some green) and have dark brown or deep pink spots.
- Avoid choosing bananas that are evenly ripe with a dark yellow skin.
- Natural ripe bananas will have a yellow stem and body. If the stem is green but the fruit is uniformly yellow, it has definitely been soaked in chemicals.
- Tree-ripened bananas will have a fragrant aroma and natural sweetness, with a soft texture. In contrast, chemically treated bananas will taste a bit tough, hard, with astringent and sour flavors.
Where to buy strawberry syrup?
- You can find strawberry syrup at specialty beverage shops, supermarkets, or baking ingredient stores. You can also consider purchasing from reputable e-commerce websites!
- Additionally, you can refer to how to make strawberry jam to use in smoothies instead of strawberry syrup from TasteVN’s recipe.

Prepare the ingredients
Remove all green stems from the mulberries, then wash them thoroughly and let them drain.
Peel the bananas and remove all the fibers. You can leave the whole fruit or cut it into small pieces for blending.

Blend the mulberry smoothie
Add the prepared mulberries and bananas, 1 cup of yogurt, 500ml of fresh milk, and a little ice into the blender. Blend the mixture for 3 – 5 minutes until smooth.
Tip: You can freeze the mulberries and bananas in the refrigerator for 2 – 3 hours before blending, so you won’t need to add ice cubes during blending. -
Completion
First, pour about 1 tablespoon of strawberry syrup into the glass so that the syrup coats the glass evenly.
Next, divide the mulberry smoothie mixture into 2 parts and pour into 2 glasses, then decorate the surface of each smoothie glass with 1 teaspoon of chia seeds and 1 more fresh mulberry, and it’s done.
