Smoothie Base
Energy & Nutrition Boosters
Optional Add-ins (to taste)
Method
Prep
Peel the ripe banana and break it into 2–3 pieces so it blends easily.
If using fresh berries instead of frozen, add 4–6 ice cubes to the optional add-ins or chill ingredients beforehand.
Measure out peanut butter, flaxseed, oats, and any optional add-ins you plan to use.
Blend the Boost Smoothie
Layer ingredients
In the blender jar, add the almond milk first (this helps create a smooth blend), then Greek yogurt, banana pieces, frozen mixed berries, rolled oats, peanut butter, ground flaxseed, honey (or maple), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. If using protein powder, spinach, chia seeds or ice, add them now.
Blend
Secure the lid and blend on low for 10–15 seconds to combine, then increase to high and blend for 30–60 seconds or until completely smooth and no large berry or oat pieces remain. Pause and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed and blend another 10–15 seconds.
Serve
Pour the smoothie into two tall glasses (or one large), sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or a few extra chia seeds on top if desired, and serve immediately.
Storage
If not drinking right away, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir before drinking. Do not freeze after blending — texture will suffer.
