Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe frozen banana peeled and sliced before freezing
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat for creaminess
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk, start with less
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder optional but recommended
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseed meal
  • For Toppings: Granola fresh sliced fruit, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, and a drizzle of honey.

Method
 

  1. Add the frozen banana, frozen berries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, protein powder, almond butter, and chia seeds to a high-speed blender.
  2. Start blending on low speed, then increase to high, using a tamper to push ingredients toward the blades if needed.
  3. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and has a soft-serve ice cream consistency (add only 1 extra tablespoon of milk if it won't blend).
  4. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure everything is incorporated.
  5. Pour the thick mixture into a serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create swirls on top.
  6. Arrange your chosen toppings (granola, fresh fruit, coconut, and hemp seeds) artistically over the top.
  7. Drizzle with a little honey or extra nut butter and serve immediately with a spoon.

Notes

  • For the best texture: Freeze your banana and berries for at least 4 hours; using fresh fruit will result in a runny smoothie.
  • Make it Vegan: Swap the Greek yogurt for a plant-based coconut or soy yogurt and use a vegan protein powder.
  • Adjust thickness: If your smoothie is too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit; if it's too thick to blend, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Meal Prep: Pre-portion all the dry and frozen ingredients into freezer bags so you can just dump and blend in the morning.
  • Nut-Free: Replace almond butter with sunflower seed butter and use oat milk.
