TIPS
- Use Frozen Berries: This keeps the smoothie thick and cool without adding ice.
- Ripe Banana Boost: A ripe banana enhances sweetness and blends smoothly.
- Oat Milk Options: Use unsweetened oat milk to keep the sugar content low.
- Blending Tip: Blend berries and bananas first for even texture, then add milk gradually.
- Layered Flavour: Add a drop of vanilla extract for extra richness and aroma.
VARIATIONS
- Green Boost: Add a small handful of baby spinach for extra nutrients without altering the flavour.
- Protein Powered: Blend in a scoop of plant-based protein powder for a more filling option.
- Nut-Free Crunch: Stir in ground flaxseed or chia seeds post-blending for texture and healthy fats.
- Spice It Up: Sprinkle with cinnamon or ginger for added warmth and antioxidant benefits.
- Tropical Twist: Swap half the berries, pineapple or mango for a more exotic flavour profile.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerate: Store the smoothie in a sealed jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing may alter the texture; it is best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated for a short time.
