Berry Banana Smoothie Bliss
A berry banana smoothie is a classic for a reason: it's delicious, nutritious, and easy to make. This version uses frozen berries and banana for a thick and creamy texture, and plant-based milk and yogurt for a boost of protein and healthy fats. Nut butter adds a touch of richness and depth of flavor, while vanilla extract rounds out the sweetness. Feel free to add chia seeds or flaxseed for an extra dose of fiber and nutrition, or a scoop of plant-based protein powder for a post-workout boost.
