Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed berries
- 1 ripe medium banana
- ½ cup (120ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
- ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
- a handful (about 30g) spinach (optional)
- ½ cup (60g) granola
- ½ cup (75g) fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
- 1 tbsp (10g) chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Measure out 1 cup (150g) of frozen mixed berries, 1 ripe banana, ½ cup (120ml) Greek yogurt, ½ cup (120ml) almond milk, and optional honey or maple syrup.
- Blend the Base: In your blender, combine frozen berries, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and spinach if using. Blend on high for about 45 seconds until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick enough to hold a spoon upright without dripping.
- Taste and Adjust: Pause and taste the smoothie. Add honey or maple syrup if you want more sweetness, then blend for another 10 seconds.
- Pour into Bowl: Transfer the smoothie base into a medium bowl. It should have a luscious, thick texture that feels indulgent but fresh.
- Top It Off: Sprinkle ½ cup (60g) granola evenly over the surface. Add fresh berries on top for a pop of color and fresh flavor. If you want, sprinkle chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra nutrition.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy with a sturdy spoon, savoring the contrast between the cool, creamy base and the crunchy granola.
Notes
Use frozen berries to keep the smoothie thick and chilled. Add almond milk slowly to avoid thinning the mixture too much. Prepare the smoothie base just before serving to keep granola crunchy. For vegan version, swap Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and honey with maple syrup. Adding cinnamon or vanilla extract can enhance flavor. Use frozen banana for extra creaminess.
