Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of mixed berries (fresh or frozen), 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and maple syrup (optional) for added sweetness.
- If using fresh mixed berries, rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. If using frozen berries, there is no need to thaw them; they can be used directly from the freezer.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
- In a blender, add the mixed berries, banana chunks, almond milk, and chia seeds. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in some maple syrup to taste.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup. Blend again briefly to mix.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses. You can garnish with a few whole berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing vegan mixed berry smoothie!
Tips
- Use frozen berries for an extra thick and frosty texture without adding ice.
- For maximum nutrition, choose ripe bananas with some brown spots, which are sweeter and easier to blend.
- If you want a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like coconut or oat milk for varied flavor profiles.
- For a more luxurious smoothie, freeze your banana chunks beforehand for an ultra-creamy consistency.
- Always blend on high speed to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest taste and maximum nutritional benefits.
