  • Blend the ingredients on low until mostly broken down. Scrape down the sides of the blender jar. Then gradually increase blending speed until it's smooth. Add ice and blend again, beginning on low and gradually increasing speed.

  • Test your smoothie! Start with the consistency. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add some ice and pulse again. Then test the flavor. If you need it to be sweeter, add sweeteners like stevia, agave nectar, or maple syrup.
  • Pour the smoothie into a bowl and top with your favorite toppings. Some options include sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and fresh berries.

Notes

Berries

Blueberries deliver the best "purple" color. But you can use a variety of frozen fruit, such as blackberries, acai, raspberries, and even strawberries.
