🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 medium Frozen banana
• 1 cup Frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

• 3 pieces Ice cubes
• n/a Optional toppings: granola, sliced fruit, or a drizzle of honey

📝 Instructions

6 steps

1. Add the chia seeds to the almond milk in a small bowl or cup and let them soak for 5 minutes. This allows the seeds to absorb the liquid and become gel-like, which adds creaminess to the smoothie.

2. In a blender, combine the soaked chia seeds and almond milk, frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.

3. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

4. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding an extra teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.

5. Pour the smoothie into a glass and add optional toppings such as granola, sliced fruit, or a drizzle of honey for extra texture and flavor.

6. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious chia smoothie!
