Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond milk, soy milk, oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A few ice cubes (optional, for a colder and thicker smoothie)
Instructions:
- In a blender, add the frozen blueberries, ripe banana, plant-based milk, almond butter, chia seeds (if using), maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
- If you prefer a thicker and colder smoothie, you can also add a few ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a little more plant-based milk until it reaches your desired thickness.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup or agave syrup if needed.
- Once the smoothie is well blended and has reached the desired consistency, pour it into a glass.
- Optionally, you can top the smoothie with some fresh blueberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra touch.
