Ingredients
For the smoothie base:
2 cups frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)
2 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
½ cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or regular dairy)
1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
For the toppings:
¼ cup fresh blueberries
¼ cup fresh raspberries
¼ cup fresh blackberries
¼ cup granola (homemade or store-bought)
1 teaspoon chia seeds (extra sprinkle)
Peanut butter drizzle (optional but delicious)
Instructions
Freeze fruit ahead of time: Slice bananas and freeze them. Use frozen berries for a thick, creamy consistency.
Blend the base: In a high-speed blender, combine frozen berries, bananas, Greek yogurt, milk, peanut butter, and chia seeds. Blend until smooth.
Adjust thickness: If too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add extra frozen fruit.
Pour into bowls: Divide the mixture evenly into two bowls, smoothing the surface with a spoon.
Add toppings: Arrange fresh berries, granola, chia seeds, and drizzle peanut butter over the top.
Serve fresh: Enjoy immediately with a spoon for the best taste and texture.
Notes
Thicker is better: Use minimal liquid to keep the smoothie base creamy and thick.
Freeze bananas in advance: Always keep frozen banana slices ready for smoothies.
Homemade granola: Toast oats with honey and nuts for fresher, crunchier topping.
Boost protein: Add a scoop of protein powder or extra Greek yogurt.
Vegan option: Swap dairy yogurt and milk for plant-based alternatives.
