Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen or fresh fruit of choice (e.g., berries, banana, mango)
- 1 cup liquid (unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or water)
- 1 tbsp nut butter (almond, peanut), chia seeds, or gluten-free protein powder
- 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 cup ice cubes (optional, for a colder, thicker smoothie)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the frozen or fresh fruit, your chosen liquid, nut butter or seeds, pure vanilla extract, and optional sweetener in the pitcher of a high-speed blender. Ensure all ingredients are added before blending.
- 2
Secure the lid and blend on high speed for approximately 60 to 90 seconds. Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth and has a uniform, creamy consistency, with no visible chunks of fruit or ice.
- 3
Carefully taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a little more honey or maple syrup. Blend for another 10-15 seconds to incorporate any added sweetener.
- 4
Pour the finished smoothie into serving glasses. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

For a thicker smoothie bowl consistency, reduce the amount of liquid by half and blend until very thick. Spoon into bowls and top with certified gluten-free granola, fresh fruit, or seeds.

Tips & Notes
- Softened butter should hold a fingerprint but not be greasy — if it melts on touch, it's too warm for creaming.
- Any plant-based milk works here — oat milk (certified GF) gives the richest mouthfeel; almond milk keeps it lighter.
- Freeze overripe bananas in their peel; thaw on the counter and squeeze out the pulp for perfectly soft mash.
