Ingredients
  

  • Frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • Frozen banana (sliced; very ripe for best sweetness)
  • Milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, soy, dairy)
  • Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt (optional for extra creaminess and protein)
  • Nut or seed butter (peanut, almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter)
  • Vanilla extract (optional, nice flavor boost)
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • Toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, hemp hearts, cacao nibs, or chopped nuts

Method
 

  1. Add 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries and 1 frozen banana to a high-speed blender.
  2. Pour in 1/3 cup milk to start. Add 1/4 cup Greek yogurt if using.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon nut or seed butter and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, if desired.
  4. Blend on low, then increase to medium, using a tamper to push fruit toward the blades. If it struggles, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Aim for a thick, soft-serve texture.
  5. Taste and adjust. If you prefer sweeter, add 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup and blend briefly.
  6. Scrape into a wide bowl. Smooth the top with a spoon.
  7. Add toppings: a handful of fresh berries, banana slices, a sprinkle of granola, and a pinch of chia or coconut flakes. Serve right away.
