What makes this smoothie healthy?
This high fiber fruit smoothie is packed with nutrition to support your health.
First, it’s got 10 grams of fiber! Women need 25 (or more) grams of fiber per day, while men need 38 grams. So this can make a big dent in your daily fiber goal. Fiber can support gut health, heart health, and reduce your risk of lifestyle-related diseases.
It’s also high protein. This smoothie contains anywhere from 19-43 grams of protein per serving, depending on whether you use protein powder. Dietary protein helps keep blood sugar stable, supports muscle growth and maintenance, and keeps you full so you’re snacking less.
And don’t forget about micronutrients and phytochemicals! Berries, banana, chia seeds, oats, and yogurt contain loads of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support your metabolism and cell health.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this high fiber smoothie:
- Frozen mixed berries — I prefer the blend with blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries (not strawberries)
- Banana — you can use fresh or frozen
- Chia seeds
- Rolled oats
- Greek yogurt
- Water or milk — I typically use water, but milk adds extra protein and nutrition
- Vanilla protein powder (optional)
Dietary restrictions
Lactose-free: Use lactose-free Greek yogurt and milk (or just use water), and choose a plant-based protein powder.
Dairy-free: Omit the Greek yogurt and use a plant-based milk as your liquid. I recommend soy milk since it’s high in protein. Use a plant-based and dairy-free protein powder.
No sugar added: This smoothie recipe is naturally free from added sugars, as long as your protein powder is sugar-free.
Gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats, and make sure all other ingredients are free from gluten contamination.
How to make a high fiber fruit smoothie
This recipe couldn’t be easier!
First, add all ingredients to your blender.
Then, blend on high for 30-45 seconds, or until completely smooth. Add more liquid as needed to reach your desired texture. Taste your smoothie — if you aren’t using protein powder, you may wish to add another banana half for sweetness.
The smoothie will thicken as it sits, so enjoy immediately.

What’s the best protein powder for smoothies?
The best protein powder for you depends on your goals and taste preferences!
Personally, I love a flavored whey protein powder because it supports my fitness goals and tastes great. I love so many brands — but Leanfit and Legion Athletics are among my favorites.
For a plant-based option, I love the powders from Orgain and Legion Athletics.
Extra mix-ins
Feel free to add more ingredients to your high fiber fruit smoothie for extra nutrition or flavor. Here are some ideas:
- Chocolate protein powder
- Cocoa powder
- Coconut flakes
- Ground golden flaxseed
- Frozen mango
- Frozen pineapple
- Medjool dates
- Pinch of salt
- Peanut powder
- Peanut butter
- Almond butter
- Cashews
Expert tips
- Drink your smoothie fast. The chia seeds will thicken your high fiber fruit smoothie quickly, so make sure you drink it right after blending to avoid textural changes.
- Adjust liquid as needed. You might need a little extra liquid if you used a frozen banana, or if you added protein powder. Check after blending and add more as needed.
- Check for sweetness. I like my smoothies mildly sweet to avoid the blood sugar rollercoaster, but everyone’s tastes are different. Taste your smoothie after blending, and add extra banana for sweetness if desired. If you use a flavored protein powder, you probably won’t need it.
