Ingredients
Scale
Smoothie Base
- 10 ounces frozen fruit (about 2 ½ cups)
- 1 banana, frozen
- 3–4 tablespoons almond milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons honey (optional)
- 1 cup greens (optional)
Add-ins and Toppings
- Chia seeds
- Protein powder
- Nut butter
- Acai powder
- Fresh fruit (for topping)
- Granola (for topping)
- Flaked coconut (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, ensuring the fruit and banana are properly frozen to achieve the ideal thick smoothie texture.
- Load Blender: Place the ingredients in the order listed into a high-powered blender like a Vitamix, starting with frozen fruit and banana, followed by almond milk, vanilla extract, optional honey, and greens if using.
- Initial Blend: Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Use the tamper tool to press ingredients down into the blades for consistent blending and a smooth texture. Blend for about 50 seconds.
- Scrape and Continue Blending: Pause the blender, turn it off, and use a spatula to scrape down the sides and push ingredients back towards the blades. Secure the lid and continue blending with the tamper until the mixture is smooth, thick, and creamy.
- Serve and Top: Pour the smoothie mixture immediately into 2 to 4 bowls. Add your choice of toppings such as granola, flaked coconut, chia seeds, fresh fruit, or nut butters for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender for best texture and consistency.
- Adjust almond milk quantity to achieve desired thickness.
- Optional add-ins like protein powder, nut butter, and acai powder boost nutrition.
- Use frozen fruit and banana to create a thick, spoonable smoothie bowl rather than a liquid smoothie.
- Serve immediately to enjoy optimal freshness and texture.
- Customize toppings based on your preference for added crunch or sweetness.
