Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 banana
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: frozen mixed berries, ripe banana, coconut water, and chia seeds. Ensure berries are fully frozen for best texture.
- Peel the banana and break it into several chunks to help with blending. If the banana is not very ripe, consider letting it sit at room temperature for better sweetness.
- Add the frozen mixed berries to a high-powered blender. Choose berries that include a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for complex flavor.
- Place banana chunks on top of the frozen berries in the blender.
- Sprinkle chia seeds over the fruit. These will add nutritional value and help thicken the smoothie.
- Pour coconut water into the blender. Use cold coconut water for the best chilled result.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and no large berry chunks remain.
- Stop blending and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend again briefly to ensure complete mixing.
- Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. If desired, garnish with a few whole berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top.
- Serve immediately while the smoothie is cold and frothy. Best enjoyed fresh for optimal taste and texture.
Tips
- Choose the Right Berries: For the best flavor, opt for a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Each berry brings its unique sweetness and tartness to the smoothie.
- Use Fully Frozen Berries: Ensure your mixed berries are completely frozen before blending. This will give your smoothie a creamy texture and keep it refreshingly cold.
- Ripe Bananas for Sweetness: Use a ripe banana for optimal sweetness. If your banana isn’t quite ripe, let it sit at room temperature for a day or two to enhance its natural sugars.
- Cold Coconut Water: For an extra refreshing taste, chill your coconut water beforehand. It makes a significant difference in the final flavor of your smoothie.
- Blend Thoroughly: Blend the mixture on high speed for 45-60 seconds, and don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.
- Garnish for Presentation: Elevate your smoothie’s appearance by garnishing it with a few whole berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top before serving.
- Enjoy Fresh: This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately after blending to savor its vibrant flavors and frothy texture.
