Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 orange, peeled and segmented
- 1 cup Silk almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 1 orange (peeled and segmented), 1 cup of Silk almond milk, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds (optional), and some ice cubes.
- Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
- Take the orange and carefully segment it, ensuring to remove any seeds. This will help in achieving a smooth texture in your smoothie.
- In a blender, combine the banana pieces, orange segments, and the 1 cup of Silk almond milk. If you are using chia seeds, add them to the blender as well.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender for a refreshing, chilled smoothie. The amount of ice can be adjusted based on your preference for thickness and temperature.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your blender.
- Once blended, stop the blender and check the consistency. If it's too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again.
- After achieving the desired consistency, pour the smoothie into two glasses.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a slice of orange on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Banana Orange Almond Milk Smoothie Silk!
