INGREDIENTS
For the Smoothie:
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 ripe banana, frozen
- 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt (such as almond or coconut yogurt)
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (optional)
For Toppings:
- Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- Granola or muesli
- Shredded coconut
- Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or your choice)
- Nut butter drizzle (almond, peanut, or cashew)
- Edible flowers or mint leaves for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a blender, combine the mixed berries, frozen banana, plant-based yogurt, plant-based milk, chia seeds or flax seeds (if using), 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 Mixed Berry Smoothie into a bowl.
Top the smoothie with fresh mixed berries, granola or muesli, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and a drizzle of nut butter.
Garnish with edible flowers or mint leaves for an extra touch of beauty.
Serve:
- Serve the Vegan Mixed Berry Smoothie Bowl immediately, for a colorful and nutrient-packed breakfast or snack.
TIPS
You can 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.
