Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Base
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup unsweetened açaà purée or 1 tsp açaà powder
- 1/4 cup papaya or mango chunks
- Juice of 1/2 lime
Superfood Seeds and Add-ins
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (soaked in 2 tbsp water for 10 mins)
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 avocado (adds healthy fats and satiety)
Liquid and Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut water)
- 1/2 tsp raw honey or stevia (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine all ingredients including the chia seeds that have been soaked for 10 minutes. This ensures the seeds are softened and ready to blend smoothly.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend all ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk or coconut water gradually to reach your desired consistency.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding raw honey or stevia according to your preference.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. Optionally, top with extra chia seeds or coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Soaking chia seeds improves their digestibility and helps achieve a smoother texture in the smoothie.
- Açaà powder can be used if fresh or frozen açaà purée is unavailable.
- Substitute almond milk with coconut water for a lighter, more hydrating option.
- Adjust fruit types based on availability or flavor preference—mango or papaya both work well.
- Add toppings such as shredded coconut or extra seeds for crunch and nutrition.
