Equipment

Small Blender

Ingredients

1 cup mixed berries, frozen $2.08
1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen (about 1 cup) $0.26
¼ cup almond milk* $0.30
½ Tbsp chia seeds $0.07
¼ cup granola $0.48
¼ cup berries $0.52
1 ½ Tbsp peanut butter, melted $0.09

Instructions

Add frozen mixed berries, frozen banana, and almond milk to the blender.
Blend, stopping often to scrape down the inside of the blender to make sure the ingredients catch the blade. Blend and scrape down the blender as often as needed until the perfect consistency is reached.
Pour the smoothie (it will be THICK) into your favorite bowls and top with your favorite ingredients. I chose chia seeds, granola, more berries, and some melted peanut butter. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

*Almond, oat, soy, or dairy milk will all work, so use whatever you have on hand! Alternatively, you can also use fruit juice, but the texture will be less creamy.
