Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and washed thoroughly. If using frozen berries, let them thaw slightly for easier blending.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks to help with smoother blending. Place the banana pieces into a high-powered blender.
- Add the mixed berries to the blender. Choose a combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for maximum nutritional benefits and flavor complexity.
- Pour the almond milk into the blender, ensuring it covers the fruit to facilitate smooth blending.
- Drizzle honey into the mixture for natural sweetness and additional antioxidant properties.
- Sprinkle chia seeds on top of the other ingredients. These will add omega-3 fatty acids and help thicken the smoothie.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain.
- Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing equally. Optional: Garnish with a few whole berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top.
- Serve immediately for maximum freshness and nutritional potency. Best enjoyed chilled.
Tips
- Choose Fresh or Frozen Berries: While fresh berries are ideal, frozen berries work great too. Just let them thaw slightly for easier blending.
- Blending Perfection: Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest consistency. Blend in stages if needed, and always scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Temperature Matters: Serve immediately and chilled for the best taste and nutritional benefits. The colder, the better!
- Customize Your Smoothie: Feel free to swap almond milk with other plant-based milks like coconut or oat milk. You can also add a scoop of collagen powder for extra skin-loving benefits.
- Storage Tip: If you can't drink it immediately, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick stir before drinking.
- Boost Nutrition: For an extra nutritional punch, consider adding a handful of spinach or a scoop of your favorite protein powder without compromising the delicious berry flavor.
