Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries), 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 cup of almond milk, and 1 tablespoon of honey (if desired).
- Rinse the mixed berries under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. If you are using strawberries, hull them by removing the green tops and cutting them into halves or quarters for easier blending.
- In a blender, add the rinsed mixed berries, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and almond milk. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in the honey as well.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, which should take about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or adjusting the amount of berries.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, and if desired, sprinkle a few extra chia seeds or berries on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Chia Seed Berry Yogurt Smoothie!
Tips
- Berry Selection: Use fresh or frozen mixed berries. Frozen berries can make your smoothie extra cold and thick without adding ice.
- Chia Seed Pro Tip: Let the chia seeds sit in the smoothie for a few minutes before serving to allow them to slightly expand, creating a more luxurious texture.
- Consistency Hack: If your smoothie is too thick, add almond milk gradually. If it's too thin, add more yogurt or frozen berries.
- Nutrition Boost: For an extra protein punch, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a tablespoon of almond butter.
- Prep Ahead: You can prepare the ingredients the night before and store them in the blender pitcher in the refrigerator for a quick morning blend.
- Garnish Game: Elevate your smoothie's presentation by garnishing with a few whole berries, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a mint leaf.
