Blackberry and Banana Smoothie Bowl Instructions

1. Start by washing the blackberries thoroughly under cold running water.
2. Peel the bananas and slice them into small chunks.
3. In a blender, combine the blackberries, banana chunks, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and honey.
4. Add chia seeds to the mix, ensuring a blend of crunch and smoothness in your Blackberry and Banana Smoothie Bowl.
5. Blend the mixture until smooth, which usually takes around 2-3 minutes.
6. Check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
7. Once you’ve achieved the desired consistency, throw in the ice cubes and blend for another 30 seconds.
8. Pour your smoothie mixture into bowls.

Tips

1. For an added crunch, consider sprinkling some granola or nuts on top.
2. If blackberries aren’t in season, frozen ones can be a great substitute. Just ensure they are thawed a bit before blending.
3. Use ripe bananas; they not only blend easier but also offer a natural sweetness to the Blackberry and Banana Smoothie Bowl.
4. For a vegan version, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt of your choice.
