Ingredients
  

  • - Almond Butter: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • - Mixed Berries blueberries, strawberries, raspberries: 1 cup (240 ml)
  • - Banana: 1 medium-sized
  • - Almond milk unsweetened: 1 cup (240 ml)
  • - Greek Yogurt: ½ cup 120 ml
  • - Honey or maple syrup: 1 tablespoon 15 ml
  • - Ice cubes: ½ cup about 8-10 cubes
  • - Chia seeds: 1 tablespoon optional for added nutrition

Method
 

  1. In a blender, start by pouring the unsweetened almond milk.
  2. Add in the lush mixed berries, ensuring they’re washed and cleaned.
  3. Peel and toss in the banana for added creaminess.
  4. Now, the hero ingredient! Spoon in the almond butter. It’s this component that gives our *Almond Butter and Berry Smoothie* its silky texture and nutty flavour.
  5. Next, add in the Greek yogurt. This not only amplifies the creaminess but also brings a protein punch.
  6. To sweeten things up, drizzle in your choice of honey or maple syrup. Remember, a little goes a long way!
  7. If you've opted for chia seeds, sprinkle them in now.
  8. Top up with ice cubes to give your smoothie a refreshing chill.
  9. Blend away! Keep going until your *Almond Butter and Berry Smoothie* reaches a creamy and smooth consistency. Usually, this should take about 2-3 minutes.
  10. Pour your freshly blended smoothie into glasses.

Notes

1. For an extra protein kick, consider adding a scoop of your favourite protein powder.
2. Fresh berries are fantastic, but frozen can work just as well and give an extra chill to your smoothie.
3. Don’t have almond milk? You can use oat milk or coconut milk as an alternative.
4. If you're allergic to nuts, consider using seed butter, like sunflower seed butter, as an alternative to almond butter.
5. The *Almond Butter and Berry Smoothie* can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, it's best when consumed fresh.
