Ingredients List
- 2 ripe bananas (for natural sweetness and creaminess)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (use dairy-free alternative if preferred)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for added sweetness, optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for flavor)
- ½ cup frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for added texture and nutrients)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker, colder texture)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients. No need to thaw the frozen berries — they’ll blend perfectly as they are.
2. Blend the Base
In a blender or food processor, combine the bananas, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Berries and Flavors
Add the frozen berries, cinnamon (if using), and chia or flaxseeds. Blend again until fully combined.
4. Adjust Texture and Sweetness
If you want a thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes and blend again. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Pour the mixture into bowls or glasses and enjoy immediately! You can also chill it for a firmer, cooler texture.
