Ingredients
1 ½ cups Mixed frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1 medium Frozen banana
½ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup Almond milk
1 tbsp Chia seeds
1-2 tbsp Honey or maple syrup
½ tsp Vanilla extract
Toppings: Fresh berries, granola, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, hemp seeds
Instructions
1. Prep: Use pre-frozen berries and a pre-frozen banana for the thickest consistency.
2. Blend: In a high-speed blender, combine frozen berries, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla.
3. Process: Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until thick and smooth. Scrape down sides as needed. If too thick, add more almond milk 1 tbsp at a time.
4. Assemble: Transfer the thick base into a bowl using a spatula.
5. Top: Arrange fresh berries, granola, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and hemp seeds in artistic rows or clusters on top.
6. Serve: Enjoy immediately while cold and thick.
Notes
Pro-Tips:
• Use only frozen fruit; adding ice can water down the flavor and prevent the signature thick, spoonable texture.
• For extra creaminess, try blending in half an avocado—it adds healthy fats and a luxurious mouthfeel without affecting the berry flavor.
• Layer your blender with liquids first, followed by frozen solids, to help the blades move efficiently.
Variations:
• Tropical: Add mango chunks and pineapple to the berry mix.
• Green Boost: Blend in a handful of fresh spinach; the berries are strong enough to mask the color and flavor.
• Protein-Packed: Stir in a scoop of your favorite vanilla or berry protein powder.
