Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk (almond, oat, coconut, or cashew milk, etc.)
  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1 frozen acai packet (OR powdered acai as per Notes)
  • 2 tablespoons vegan unsweetened vanilla yogurt (OR plain yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Ingredients

  • Extra ice or frozen berries (for thickness if using acai powder)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter (OR peanut butter)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (OR hemp or flax seeds)
  • 1–2 tablespoons cacao nibs (for topping)
  • 1/2 pitted Medjool date (OR extra maple syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a Blender: Combine the frozen bananas, frozen mixed berries, acai packet (or powder alternatives), vegan yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and any optional ingredients such as almond butter or seeds in the blender.
  2. Blend until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and all frozen chunks have been completely broken down, resulting in a creamy consistency.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness: Sample the smoothie and increase the sweetness by adding more maple syrup, agave nectar, or half a pitted Medjool date if desired. Blend briefly again to incorporate any additions.
  4. Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and top with cacao nibs if you like for added texture and flavor. Enjoy the smoothie fresh for best taste and nutrient retention.

Notes

  • If you are using acai powder instead of a frozen acai packet, add extra ice or frozen berries to ensure the smoothie is thick and cold.
  • Medjool dates can be substituted with additional maple syrup or agave for natural sweetness.
  • For a creamier texture, nut butters like almond or peanut butter enhance flavor and add healthy fats.
  • This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stirring well before drinking is recommended.
  • Adjust the thickness by modifying the amount of non-dairy milk or adding more frozen fruit.
