Kim's note

I keep a bag of mixed frozen berries in the freezer at all times — blueberries, raspberries, blackberries. They're picked at peak ripeness, often more nutritious than fresh, and they make this smoothie ice-cold without watering it down.

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana, broken into chunks
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1/2 cup plain plant-based yogurt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened oat or almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to make it

  1. 1

    Add the oat milk and yogurt to the blender first.

  2. 2

    Add the frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, chia seeds, vanilla, and maple syrup if using.

  3. 3

    Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. The mixture will be thick — that's exactly right.

  4. 4

    If the blender struggles, add milk one tablespoon at a time and blend again. Avoid adding too much or you'll lose the thick, spoonable texture.

  5. 5

    Pour into a glass and top with a few fresh berries if you have them. Drink immediately.
