Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen blackberries and plain yogurt.
Add the ice cubes, a pinch of fine sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the consistency and blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or add a few extra ice cubes or frozen blackberries if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use full-fat plain yogurt for a creamier texture or substitute with Greek yogurt for added protein. For a dairy-free option, replace milk and yogurt with almond or oat milk yogurt alternatives.
