Equipment

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 if using powdered see Notes
2 tablespoons vegan unsweetened vanilla yogurt OR plain
1 teaspoon maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Extra ice or frozen berries for thickness if using acai powder
1 tablespoon almond butter OR peanut butter
1 teaspoon chia seeds OR hemp/flax seeds
1-2 tablespoons cacao nibs for topping
½ pitted Medjool date OR maple syrup
½ teaspoon cinnamon adds cozy warmth, while ¼ teaspoon cardamom brings a light, aromatic twist — use ¼ teaspoon of both if you’re up for something a little extra.

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a Blender: Add frozen bananas, mixed berries, acai packet, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and any optional ingredients if using.
Blend until Smooth: Blend on high, until all frozen chunks are gone.
Taste and adjust sweetness: Not sweet enough? Add more maple syrup, agave, or half a Medjool date as needed.
Serve immediately, and top with cacao nibs if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

If using acai powder, add 1-2 tablespoons, along with extra ice or berries for the thickness that would otherwise come from the frozen acai packet.
For a nut-free version, swap almond butter for sunflower butter.
For a delicious post-workout smoothie, add plant-based protein powder. I love using Sunwarrior Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder
