Ingredients
- 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 1 medium ripe banana, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup (120ml) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, full-fat or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option)
- ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk or regular milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- ½ cup (75g) fresh berries for topping (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- ¼ cup (30g) granola for topping (nutty granola recommended)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Gather 1 cup (150g) of frozen mixed berries, slice 1 ripe banana, and measure out ½ cup (120ml) Greek yogurt and ½ cup (120ml) almond milk.
- In your blender, combine the frozen berries, banana, Greek yogurt, and almond milk. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend on high for about 45 seconds or until smooth and creamy. If blender struggles, pulse a few times then blend continuously.
- Add 1 teaspoon chia seeds and blend for an additional 10 seconds to mix evenly.
- Check consistency: The smoothie should be thick enough to eat with a spoon but smooth. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk (1 tablespoon at a time). If too thin, add a few more frozen berries and blend briefly.
- Pour the smoothie base into a wide serving bowl using a spatula.
- Top with ½ cup (75g) fresh berries scattered over the surface.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup (30g) granola and 1 tablespoon shredded coconut if using.
- Optionally drizzle a little more honey or sprinkle extra chia seeds on top. Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
Notes
Use frozen berries in the base for thick, spoonable texture; fresh berries are best for topping. Adjust sweetness after blending as banana provides natural sugar. For vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey. If blender is less powerful, blend in stages and scrape sides. Serve immediately or chill for 5 minutes for colder texture. Store smoothie base up to 24 hours in fridge; add toppings just before serving.
