Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen fruit (such as bananas, strawberries, mangoes, pineapple)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk (or liquid of choice)
Optional Add-Ins
- Protein powder (amount as desired)
- Cocoa powder (to taste)
- Nut butter (to taste)
- Honey (to taste)
- Maple syrup (to taste)
- Vanilla extract (to taste)
- Cinnamon (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Blender: Pour 1/4 cup of unsweetened plant milk or your preferred liquid into the jug of a high-powered standup blender. Using a high-speed blender with a tamper is recommended for best results.
- Add Fruit and Ingredients: Add 2 cups of frozen fruit along with any optional add-ins such as protein powder, cocoa powder, nut butter, honey, maple syrup, vanilla, or cinnamon.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth, pausing occasionally to scrape the sides and bottom of the blender to ensure even blending. If your blender struggles to process the frozen fruit, add up to an additional 1/12 cup of plant milk (total of 1/3 cup).
- Serve: Transfer the thick smoothie into a bowl and enjoy immediately. Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit slices, nuts, nut butter, or seeds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest consistency.
- Adjust the amount of liquid to achieve your preferred thickness.
- Experiment with different frozen fruits and add-ins to vary flavors.
- Serve immediately for the best texture as the bowl will start to melt.
- Toppings can enhance both nutrition and texture.
