Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 cups frozen berries (your choice, for natural sweetness and flavor)
- 1 large frozen banana (for creaminess and extra sweetness)
Liquids
- ¾ cup coconut milk (light or full-fat as per preference)
- ½ cup fresh water (to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure 2 cups of frozen berries, 1 large frozen banana, ¾ cup of coconut milk, and ½ cup of fresh water onto your workspace to have everything ready for blending.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen berries and banana into your high-powered blender first. Then add the coconut milk followed by the water to start the blending process effectively.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the smoothie reaches a smooth and creamy consistency without any chunks.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the smoothie’s thickness and, if necessary, add additional water a little at a time. Blend again briefly to incorporate and reach your ideal consistency.
- Serve: Pour the finished smoothie into chilled glasses. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit to achieve a thick, cold smoothie without the need for ice, which can dilute the flavor.
- Light coconut milk reduces calories and fat, while full-fat coconut milk offers a richer texture.
- Adjust the water quantity based on your preferred thickness.
- This smoothie is vegan and gluten-free, making it suitable for many dietary needs.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder.
