Peel a large banana, chop it into chunks, and freeze if not already done.
In a blender, add the frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, and almond milk.
Add the maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to the blender.
Add the ice cubes to help make the smoothie chillier and thicker.
Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stop halfway through to scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary.
Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately.
Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra texture.
