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 certified gluten-free soy protein powder
- 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp honey or pure maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 cup ice cubes (optional, for a colder, thicker shake)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the frozen or fresh fruit, your chosen liquid, nut butter or chia seeds or protein powder, pure vanilla extract, and optional honey or maple syrup into the pitcher of a high-speed blender. Ensure all ingredients are added before proceeding to the next step.
- 2
Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for approximately 60 to 90 seconds. Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth and no icy chunks or large particles remain, achieving a velvety consistency.
- 3
Carefully taste the shake and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding more honey or maple syrup. Blend for an additional 10-15 seconds to incorporate any added sweetener evenly.
- 4
Pour the finished shake into your serving glasses. Serve immediately to enjoy its optimal texture and temperature.

For a thicker smoothie bowl consistency, reduce the amount of liquid by half and blend until thick and creamy. Top with certified gluten-free granola, fresh fruit, and seeds for a delightful breakfast or snack.

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.
