Servings:
Ingredients
- 1 large banana frozen ahead of time if desired
- 1 heaping cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup chocolate almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds optional
- A few ice cubes optional
Instructions
- If using a frozen banana, make sure it’s been peeled and frozen at least 2 hours ahead (overnight is ideal). This gives the smoothie a thick, creamy, milkshake-like texture.
- Add the banana, raspberries, chocolate almond milk, and vanilla extract to a blender. Add hemp seeds and ice cubes if using.
- Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until completely smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- Taste and adjust — add a splash more almond milk for a thinner consistency or more ice for a frostier smoothie. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
For the best texture, use a frozen banana and frozen raspberries — they make the smoothie extra thick and frosty without needing much ice. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add almond milk a splash at a time. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours; give it a quick stir or re-blend before serving.
