1 cup frozen or fresh fruit of choice (e.g., berries, banana, mango)
1 cup unsweetened macadamia milk
1 tbsp nut butter (almond, cashew, or sunflower seed), chia seeds, or gluten-free protein powder Shop
0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste) Shop
1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

1 Combine the frozen or fresh fruit, unsweetened macadamia milk, your chosen nut butter, chia seeds, or gluten-free protein powder, and pure vanilla extract in the pitcher of a high-speed blender. Add the optional honey or maple syrup now if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
2 Add the ice cubes to the blender pitcher. Secure the lid tightly and blend on a high setting for approximately 60 to 90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a creamy, uniform consistency. Listen for the blender to achieve a consistent hum, indicating all ingredients are well incorporated.
3 Carefully taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a little more honey or maple syrup. Blend again for another 10-15 seconds to ensure the sweetener is fully incorporated.
4 Pour the vibrant smoothie into chilled glasses and serve immediately to enjoy its peak freshness and texture. The aroma should be inviting, with hints of fruit and vanilla.
5 For a thicker smoothie bowl, reduce the amount of macadamia milk to about 1/2 cup and blend until very thick, almost like soft-serve ice cream. Spoon into a bowl and top with gluten-free granola, fresh fruit slices, and a sprinkle of seeds for added texture and flavor.

Tips & Notes

Shake the carton of macadamia milk well before measuring. It separates as it sits, and the creamy part settles to the bottom.
For anyone avoiding nuts, note that macadamia milk is itself a tree nut product; the sunflower seed butter option replaces only the nut butter.
For the smoothie bowl in step 5, use frozen banana and the reduced 1/2 cup of macadamia milk so it is thick enough to hold toppings.
