Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or a blend)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 cup So Delicious Unsweetened Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative (or yogurt of choice)
- 1/4 cup goji berries (blend into a paste before adding other ingredients)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Toppings (Optional)
- Granola
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Prepare Goji Berry Paste: If using goji berries, add them along with 2 tablespoons of warm water to the blender container. Blend for about 30 seconds until a smooth paste forms, pausing to scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed to ensure even blending.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the frozen mixed berries, banana, coconut water, coconutmilk yogurt alternative, and ground cinnamon to the blender. Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any chunks.
- Serve with Toppings: Pour the smoothie into glasses and top with granola and fresh berries if desired for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately for the best taste and freshness.
Notes
- For a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Use full-fat coconutmilk yogurt alternative for creamier texture.
- Fresh berries can be substituted for frozen if preferred, but add a few ice cubes to maintain chill.
- Gluten-free granola topping is recommended for gluten-sensitive diets.
- To make it vegan, ensure yogurt alternative and toppings are plant-based.
