Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk Can be swapped with any plant-based milk or regular milk.
  • 1 medium banana
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup Optional.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt.
  • as needed cubes ice Optional, for colder smoothie.

Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 2 Glasses

Method
 

  1. Add the almond milk and chia seeds to the blender. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chia seeds to start absorbing liquid.
  2. Add the banana, frozen mixed berries, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract to the blender.
  3. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. If a colder smoothie is preferred, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
  5. Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

You can swap almond milk with any plant-based milk or regular milk.
For an even thicker smoothie, soak the chia seeds in almond milk for 10-15 minutes before blending.
To make it vegan, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup.
Optional toppings: sliced fruit, extra chia seeds, or a sprinkle of granola.
