Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 3/4 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup yogurt (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Peel the banana and gather the chia seeds, milk, and any optional ingredients like yogurt or cinnamon/vanilla extract.
- Blend smoothie: Place the banana, chia seeds, milk, and optional add-ins into a blender. Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Rest smoothie: Let the smoothie rest for 2–3 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the texture.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately, or store it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- For a colder smoothie, use a frozen banana or add ice cubes before blending.
- You can use any milk you prefer, such as almond, oat, soy, or cow's milk.
- To make it vegan, use plant-based yogurt or omit yogurt completely.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding a little honey, maple syrup, or dates if desired.
- Chia seeds can be ground before adding for a smoother texture, but whole seeds provide extra crunch and fiber.
