    During these crazy times, I have added a few healthy additions to my routine. Elderberry syrup is one of those things that is now always in my pantry.

    I take it every now and then when I feel a tickle in my throat or when I am more stressed than usual. Elderberry has a sweet flavor that pairs nicely with fruit. It tastes great in an Elderberry Kombucha recipe.

    For my daily smoothie, I have been adding ginger powder and turmeric powder. I also drink an Immunity Defense Shot almost every day.

    Another recipe that pairs nicely with fruit is my Vegan Dessert Dip.

    You might also like my Vegan Mocha Smoothie or my  Vegan Berry Smoothie Bowl. To add even more nutrients, try my Smoothie Booster Mix.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is made in minutes.
    • It gives you a boost during times of stress or when you feel a cold or the flu coming on.
    • It is healthy and flavorful.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Banana: You could use a fresh or frozen banana. I like to keep frozen bananas in my freezer at all times.
    • Blueberries: I used frozen blueberries because I always have them in my freezer. You could also use fresh blueberries.
    • Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk so that I can control the amount of sweetener. You could use soy milk, oat milk, or your favorite dairy-free milk.
    • Vegan yogurt: I used unsweetened coconut yogurt so that I can control the amount of sugar. Use your favorite.
    • Elderberry syrup: I used elderberry syrup because that is what I always have on hand. You could also use elderberry powder, which tastes great in an Elderberry Latte recipe.

    Step 2: Blend until smooth and creamy.

    Can It Be kept Overnight in The Fridge?

    You could, but I don't recommend it. Smoothies are best made fresh so that you get all the nutrients.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    What fruit goes with elderberry?

    Blueberries and bananas taste great mixed with elderberry in this vegan smoothie.

    What can I put in a smoothie instead of milk?

    Any dairy-free milk works in a smoothie. You can also use dairy-free yogurt. For this vegan smoothie, I used unsweetened almond milk and unsweetened vegan yogurt.
