Ingredients
  

1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1 ripe banana

1 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings:

Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Sliced banana

Granola

Coconut flakes

Chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen mixed berries, ripe banana, almond milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. If you are using honey or maple syrup for sweetness, add it at this stage. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, gradually add more almond milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.

    Chill the Mixture: Once blended, pour the smoothie into a bowl. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes. This resting period helps the chia seeds absorb some moisture, thickening the smoothie further and giving it a delightful texture.

      Prepare the Toppings: While your smoothie base is chilling, take the opportunity to prepare your toppings. Rinse the fresh berries under cold water and slice the banana into rounds. Arrange your toppings on a plate for easy access during assembly.

        Assemble Your Bowl: After the smoothie has thickened, pour it into a serving bowl. Get creative as you artfully arrange the fresh berries, banana slices, granola, coconut flakes, and chopped nuts on top of the smoothie. Feel free to create patterns or layers for added visual appeal!

          Serve and Enjoy: Grab a spoon and dive into your vibrant Bright Berry Chia Smoothie Bowl! Relish each bite as you enjoy the delightful mix of flavors and textures, making this a wholesome and satisfying treat.
