Vegan Berry Bliss Smoothie
The Vegan Berry Bliss Smoothie is a delightful blend of mixed berries, frozen banana, and plant-based ingredients. This smoothie is packed with antioxidants, fiber, and essential nutrients from the berries and chia seeds. The addition of nut butter and plant-based yogurt adds creaminess and a boost of protein.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 ripe banana, frozen
- 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt (such as almond or coconut yogurt)
- 1 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
In a blender, combine the mixed berries, frozen banana, plant-based yogurt, plant-based milk, chia seeds or flax seeds, nut butter, and maple syrup (if using).
Blend on high until the ingredients are well combined and the smoothie is creamy and smooth. If the consistency is too thick, you can add more plant-based milk or water.
If desired, add a few ice cubes and blend again to make the smoothie colder.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding more maple syrup or agave syrup.
Pour the Vegan Berry Bliss Smoothie into glasses.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of freshness.
Serve:
- Serve the Vegan Berry Bliss Smoothie immediately, for a refreshing and nutrient-rich breakfast or snack.
TIPS
Feel free to use any combination of berries you enjoy or have on hand.
Customize the texture by adjusting the amount of plant-based milk – more milk will make it thinner, while less milk will make it thicker.
