Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- Honey or maple syrup (to taste)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), 1 ripe banana, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 cup of almond milk, and honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks. This will help it blend more easily with the other ingredients.
- In a blender, add the washed mixed berries, banana chunks, chia seeds, and almond milk. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender's power.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses. You can garnish with a few whole berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top for added texture and presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Triple Berry Chia Smoothie!
Tips
- Choose Fresh or Frozen Berries: For the best flavor, use fresh berries when they're in season. However, frozen berries work just as well and can give your smoothie a thicker texture.
- Ripeness Matters: Make sure your banana is ripe for optimal sweetness. The more spots on the peel, the sweeter the banana will be!
- Adjust Sweetness to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, start with a small amount of honey or maple syrup and adjust as needed. You can always add more, but you can't take it out!
- Blend to Perfection: Blend your ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If your blender struggles, stop and stir the mixture to help it along.
- Customize Your Smoothie: Feel free to add other ingredients like spinach for a green boost, protein powder for extra energy, or yogurt for creaminess!
- Garnish for Presentation: A few whole berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top can make your smoothie look as good as it tastes—perfect for sharing on social media!
- Serve Immediately: For the best flavor and texture, enjoy your smoothie right after blending. If you need to store it, keep it in the fridge for no more than a few hours.
