Start Your Day Strong: Healthy Berry Smoothie Recipe with Adaptogens
Some mornings, you need more than just fuel—you need something quick and delicious that supports balanced energy and stress resilience.*
This berry-packed adaptogen smoothie is just that: a refreshing, simple, and tasty way to start your day with added vitality from adaptogens and Super Mushrooms.
Protein, Vitamins, and Stress Support in One Blender*
We love that smoothies provide a quick and easy boost of protein, vitamins, and minerals, even if you’re super busy or on the go.
Greek yogurt and milk give you the protein and healthy fats you need to feel full and satiated, and fresh berries provide Vitamin C and antioxidants to support immune health.*
And to top it off? This delicious smoothie is made with our popular Adapt & Thrive™ functional powder, which is ideal for busy, wellness-minded individuals who need a little help balancing their stress and energy levels*. With 2,300mg of adaptogenic herbs and super mushrooms per serving (and no added sugars), this organic powder is a fantastic addition to any smoothie.
Here’s what’s inside Adapt & Thrive™:
Ashwagandha & Rhodiola: Ashwagandha is among our favorite adaptogenic herbs to help balance energy and stress levels, resulting in a greater ability to remain calm and resilient among life’s stressors.*
As an adaptogenic powerhouse, Rhodiola supports the health of your body by helping to manage its stress response, and maintaining a healthy immune system, helping you feel your best.*
Cordyceps: Best known for promoting healthy stamina and energy levels, Cordyceps also supports immune health, normal hormone levels, and adrenal function to balance healthy cortisol levels.*
Maca & Mucuna: Maca is a Peruvian grown adaptogen that helps your body build a natural resilience to stress while gently supporting your immune system.* Mucuna is an energy-uplifter by supporting your adrenal glands, and metabolic function.*
Cacao & Ginger: For antioxidant support, cacao is a great emotional heart-opener that adds depth to our blends. Ginger’s warming, congestion-clearing properties also make it a wonderful companion to balance the cold temperature of smoothies, promoting optimal digestion.*
Cardamom & Monk Fruit: For a hint of sweetness and a little bit of spice, Cardamom is a warming, digestive herb that helps tie the formula together with Monk Fruit, a natural sweetener.*
The end result of this eclectic mix of herbs and mushrooms? An earthy and slightly sweet powder that adds rich flavor and functional health benefits to your smoothie, latte, or baked goods.
The smoothie itself has a refreshing and invigorating taste, perfect for starting your day.

How to Blend the Best Smoothie
Making the perfect smoothie is somewhat of a science, so we’ve provided a few tips to create that just-right consistency.
Some tips:
• To strike that ideal balance of a perfect smoothie texture, start with less liquid and add more gradually.
• If using fresh berries, consider freezing them first. Alternatively, you can add a handful of ice to achieve a frothy smoothie consistency.
• For the smoothest results, blend all ingredients first and then add Adapt & Thrive™ powder at the end for a quick, final blend.
Why We Love This Berry Smoothie Recipe
In Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, cold drinks, such as smoothies, should be consumed sparingly and with the right herbs to avoid stifling your digestive fire. We love this smoothie recipe because our Adapt & Thrive™ powder contains Regenerative Organic Certified® Ginger, which helps warm things up for better digestion.* Plus, you’ll feel more grounded, nourished, and naturally energized from the blend.*
Want to get creative? Try swapping out berries with cherries, peaches, or pineapple when they’re in season! You can also mix and match different fruits with any of our functional powders for added variety, easily boosting your smoothie routine with superfoods.
