I have pretty similar type of smoothie every morning. I use lots of berries and fruit depending on the season and what's available in the market place near my home.
There are some ingredients that I always use no matter which berries or fruit I add. Those are chia seeds, ginger, cinnamon & turmeric powder and also lucuma powder.
I use lucuma because it gives a sweet taste, although it's not really needed as the main ingredients of my smoothies are pretty sweet, but it's packed with potassium, iron and zinc as well. Lucuma is a natural sweetener. The fruit itself comes from Peru and it's dried at a low temperature into a nutritious orange-colour powder.
