Prepare fruit
If your banana isn't already frozen, peel and slice it and freeze for at least 1 hour. Measure 1 cup of frozen mixed berries and keep frozen until blending for best texture.

Blend
Secure the blender lid and blend on high for 30–60 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides once if needed. Blend until smooth and no large fruit pieces remain. If the mixture is too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons more almond milk and blend again.
Add-ins (optional)
- 5
For extra fiber and omega-3s, add 1 teaspoon ground chia seeds and blend for an additional 5–10 seconds. If you want a colder, frothier smoothie, add 4 ice cubes and pulse until combined.
Serve & Garnish
- 6
Pour the smoothie into a 12–16 oz glass. Garnish with 2 fresh mint leaves and a slice of strawberry or lemon on the rim if desired.
- 7
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and best texture.
