Step-by-Step Guide

1. Blend

In a high-powered blender, blend the berries, whole milk, chia seeds, and yogurt (if using) until smooth and thick. Add more milk if needed to blend, but keep it thick enough to eat with a spoon.

Tips, Tricks and Storage

  • Adjust Thickness with Ice or Liquid: If your mixture is too thin, add more frozen fruit or ice. If it’s too thick, splash in extra milk until it smooths out.
  • Chill Ahead: Keep your yogurt, milk, and fruit cold. A cooler base helps everything blend up smoothly and keeps the bowl from warming too quickly.
  • Layer Toppings Last: Add crunchy toppings (nuts, seeds, granola) only just before eating to preserve their crispness. *Pro Tip* You can also make the base in advance, freeze it, and add the toppings later if you are using this for a quick breakfast on the go during the week.
  • Texture: Mix in chia seeds, oats, or nut butter to dial up the texture or protein content.
  • Storage: Make the base and toppings separately. Store the blended base in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to a day. Keep toppings dry and in sealed containers. Don’t assemble too early, or the crunch will soften.

Substitutions and Variations

Swap berries for mango, pineapple, or banana; use coconut milk or almond yogurt; switch granola for toasted oats or crushed nuts — whatever you have in your kitchen or feels good in the moment. Just follow your taste and have fun with it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?

Partially. Blend the base ahead of time and store it in the fridge, but don’t add toppings until ready to eat, so they stay crisp and fresh.

Q: What if it’s too tart?

 Add a splash of honey, more maple syrup, or a ripe banana to balance the tang.

Q: Can I freeze leftovers?

 You can freeze the base in portions; thaw in the fridge and stir before eating. Toppings are best fresh. This is also a great way to meal prep for the week!

Q: How do I get a smooth texture without chunks?

Use a high-speed blender, push the fruit down into the blades, and blend until silky. If needed, strain through a fine mesh for extra smoothness.

Q: Can I add protein or greens?

Yes! Scoop in protein powder, Greek yogurt, or spinach. Just don’t add too much liquid until the end to maintain thickness.
