Ingredients
1 cup mixed frozen winter berries (blueberries, cranberries, blackberries, raspberries)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice (oat, soy, or cow’s milk)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt alternative
1 tablespoon chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3 fatty acids
1 ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess
1 to 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup or honey (optional, for added sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or ground cinnamon (optional, for enhanced flavor)
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients: Gather frozen mixed winter berries, almond milk, yogurt, chia seeds, banana, and optional sweeteners and flavorings.
Add liquids first: Pour almond milk into the blender to help with smooth blending.
Add creamy elements: Include the yogurt and ripe banana to create a rich and smooth texture.
Incorporate berries and seeds: Add the frozen berries and chia seeds to infuse antioxidants and fiber.
Add flavor boosters: Mix in vanilla extract or cinnamon, and maple syrup or honey if desired for sweetness.
