Lisa’s Berry Blast Smoothie

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lg frozen ripe banana

• 1 plus cup frozen mixed (or single) organic berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pomegranate etc)

• 1/2 cup plain Greek low fat yogurt or plant based or 1 tbsp of nut butter ( all optional)

• 1 Brazil nut

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ground flax meal, or hemp hearts ( or a mix of all)

• 1 scoop of protein powder

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (more to desired thickness)

• Ice cubes (optional, if using fresh berries)

• Sliced almonds and goji berries for topping

Instructions:

1. Preparation: I prefer my fruit frozen for smoothies, thick and cold. They are more of a meal when the right ingredients are added. If you're using fresh berries, wash them thoroughly. Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks.

2. Blend: In a blender, combine all the ingredients: mixed berries, banana, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp hearts, protein powder ( nut butter) and almond milk. ( all add-in’s are optional or you may sub)

3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed ( you may have to use your tamper as the thicker it is the longer it will take to blend) until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses ( I keep a reserve in the freezer) and serve immediately. Top with a few whole frozen or fresh berries , almond slices, goji berries, granola etc. Delish!
