Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries or mango
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional, as needed)

Instructions

  1. Add frozen banana, frozen berries (or mango), and chia seeds to a blender.
  2. Pour in the almond milk and add yogurt if using.
  3. Add vanilla extract and sweetener, if desired.
  4. Include a few ice cubes if a thicker texture is preferred.
  5. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  6. Let the smoothie sit for 1–2 minutes to allow the chia seeds to slightly thicken.
  7. Stir, pour into a glass, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Add spinach or kale for a green version with extra nutrients.
  • Use pineapple and mango for a tropical flavor twist.
  • Add cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder for a chocolate version.
