Prep Time: 5 minutes / Servings: 1
Ingredients:
1 cup frozen mango
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 frozen banana
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 cup water
1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or whatever you like)
Instructions:
Blend: Add all the frozen fruits, chia seeds, water, maple syrup, and vanilla to your blender. Blend until smooth. Add more water if it’s too thick.
Pour and Layer: Fill your glass with the smoothie, leaving some room at the top. Pour in your milk of choice for a creamy finish.
Swirl: Gently mix the milk into the smoothie with a spoon or straw.
Quick Tips
Adjusting Sweetness: If your fruits are naturally sweet, you can skip the maple syrup or swap it for honey or agave syrup.
Milk Alternatives: Almond milk adds a light nuttiness, while oat milk makes it creamier. For a tropical twist, try coconut milk!
Add-Ons: Boost the protein content with a scoop of protein powder, or make it extra thick by adding a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Substitutions: Out of mango? Pineapple works as a fantastic alternative. You can also replace blueberries with blackberries for a tangier touch.
Make It Green: Sneak in a handful of spinach or kale for added vitamins—it won’t alter the flavor much, but it’ll give your smoothie a vibrant green hue.
