Scale
Fruits
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup frozen berries
Dairy & Liquid
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk or almond milk
Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon honey
Optional Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Add ingredients to blender: Begin by pouring 1 cup of milk or almond milk into your blender. Adding the liquid first helps the other ingredients blend smoothly without clumping. Then add the ripe banana, frozen berries, Greek yogurt, honey, and optionally chia seeds.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender jar to ensure all ingredients are fully combined and the texture is smooth.
- Taste and adjust: Sample your smoothie and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a small splash of milk or almond milk and blend briefly again to incorporate it.
- Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and maximum nutrient retention. This drink is perfect as a nourishing start to your day, especially after the holiday season.
Notes
- Using frozen berries makes the smoothie chilled and refreshing.
- Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids but can be omitted if desired.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more or less milk/almond milk.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh for optimal taste and nutrition.
