Ingredients
1 ½ cups frozen mixed berries
1 banana, sliced (fresh or frozen)
¾ cup light coconut milk, almond milk, or cashew milk
Low-calorie sweetener or honey, to taste
Toppings (optional): fresh berries, sliced almonds, unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, granola, or mint leaves
Instructions
- Blend the smoothie base:
In a high-speed blender, combine frozen mixed berries, sliced banana, and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a little more milk if a thinner consistency is desired. - Adjust sweetness:
Taste the smoothie and add honey or sweetener if desired. Blend briefly to mix. - Assemble the bowl:
Divide the smoothie evenly into two bowls. Add toppings such as fresh berries, almonds, coconut, chia seeds, granola, or any other preferred toppings. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use frozen bananas and berries to achieve the thickest, creamiest texture.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or ½ cup of Greek yogurt to increase protein content.
- Experiment with toppings: granola, nut butter, cacao nibs, or edible flowers can add flavor and visual appeal.
- You can mix and match fruits: try mango, pineapple, or kiwi for a tropical twist.
- Best enjoyed fresh; storing the smoothie base overnight is okay, but add toppings just before serving.
