Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ¾ to 1 cup milk almond, oat, or dairy
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • Ice cubes only if using fresh fruit

Method
 

  1. Pour the milk into the blender first.
  2. Add blueberries and banana.
  3. Sprinkle in the chia seeds.
  4. Add yogurt and vanilla if using.
  5. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. Taste and adjust thickness with more milk or ice.
  7. Let it sit for 5 minutes if you want it thicker.
  8. Pour and enjoy right away.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries make the smoothie thicker and colder.
  • Letting the smoothie rest for a few minutes helps chia seeds soften.
  • For a dairy-free version, skip yogurt or use coconut yogurt.
  • Use ripe bananas. They matter more than people think.
