Instructions

Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out all your ingredients and have them ready next to your blender. This makes the process quick and seamless, especially on busy mornings.
Load the Blender Correctly: For the smoothest blend, always add the liquids first. Pour the unsweetened almond milk and any optional water into the blender jar.
Add Powders and Seeds: Next, add the scoop of vegan protein powder and the tablespoon of chia seeds. Adding them after the liquid prevents them from sticking to the bottom of the blender.
Add the Solids: Now, add the almond butter, the half frozen banana, and finally, the frozen mixed berries. Placing the heaviest, frozen ingredients on top helps push everything down into the blades.
Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender. Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45-60 seconds, or until the shake is completely smooth and creamy, with no remaining chunks of fruit or seeds. If you have a high-speed blender, a 30-45 second blend might be sufficient.
Check Consistency and Serve: Pour the shake into a glass. If it’s too thick for your liking, you can add another splash of almond milk or water and blend for another 10 seconds. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
