🧾 Ingredients (Serves 1)
- ¾ cup frozen raspberries
- ½ banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ cup Greek yoghurt (or coconut yoghurt for dairy-free)
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on berry tartness)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)
🌀 Steps
- Add all ingredients to your blender:
Milk first, then yoghurt, raspberries, banana, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla. - Blend until smooth:
Give it about 40 seconds — chia seeds will make it thick and creamy. - Let it sit for 3–5 minutes:
Chia works best when it has a few minutes to thicken up. Stir and enjoy once it reaches your preferred consistency. - Serve immediately:
Pour into a tall glass or jar and admire that gorgeous magenta hue before diving in.
💡 Plan4One Tips
- Make it extra thick: Use less milk or more chia for a smoothie-bowl texture.
- Boost your gut: Add 1 tbsp rolled oats or ½ tsp flaxseed for even more fibre.
- Feeling fancy? Top with a few whole raspberries and a sprinkle of granola.
- Travel hack: Blend it the night before and take it to work — it keeps perfectly overnight.
🧊 Storage & Reuse
- Fridge: Keeps up to 24 hours in a sealed container. It will thicken overnight — just stir in a splash of milk before drinking.
- Freezer: Pour into popsicle moulds for high-fibre frozen snacks.
💸 Approximate Cost per Serve
Around $2.50 AUD, depending on berry season and yoghurt choice. Still cheaper (and healthier) than most store-bought smoothies!
🔄 Smart Swaps
- No raspberries? Try strawberries or mixed berries.
- Banana-free version: Use ¼ avocado for creaminess.
- Low-FODMAP option: Swap chia for hemp seeds and use lactose-free yoghurt.
- Extra protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a spoon of peanut butter.
