2 cups frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk) Shop
1 medium frozen banana, sliced
1 tbsp chia seeds Shop
1 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
Optional: 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey, for added sweetness Shop
For Toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, granola (GF), shredded coconut, nuts, seeds Shop

Instructions

1 Combine the frozen mixed berries, almond milk, frozen banana slices, chia seeds, and vanilla extract in a high-powered blender. If you prefer a sweeter bowl, add the optional maple syrup or honey now.
2 Blend on low speed initially, then increase to high, using the blender's tamper if necessary, until the mixture is completely smooth and has a thick, soft-serve ice cream consistency. This should take about 1-2 minutes of blending time.
3 Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated and the texture is uniform. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape when scooped.
4 Spoon the thick smoothie mixture into serving bowls. Aim for a smooth, even surface for your toppings.
5 Decorate your smoothie bowls generously with your chosen toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced banana, gluten-free granola, shredded coconut, nuts, and seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful blend of textures and flavors.

Tips & Notes

Warm milk (not hot) is key for yeast-based recipes — aim for 105–115°F to activate yeast without killing it.
The riper (more spotted) the bananas, the sweeter and more intensely flavored your result will be.
Toast desiccated coconut in a dry pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring, for a deeper flavor.
