Instructions
- Prepare the Banana Smoothie: Add all the banana smoothie ingredients—frozen bananas, plant-based milk, oat flakes, chia seeds, and almond paste—into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy in texture.
- Portion Banana Smoothie: Pour two-thirds of the banana smoothie mixture into serving glasses and set aside.
- Prepare the Raspberry Smoothie: In the blender, combine the remaining one-third banana smoothie with plant-based milk, frozen raspberries, and raspberry puree. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Create the Swirl Effect: Pour the raspberry smoothie mixture over the banana smoothie in the glasses. Using a spoon or straw, gently swirl the two layers together to create a marbled appearance without fully mixing.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top each glass with homemade granola and fresh or frozen berries. Serve immediately while icy cold and enjoy!
Notes
- You can blend all ingredients together for a uniform flavor, but the swirl effect offers a visually appealing and flavor-contrasting experience.
- Adjust sweetness by choosing ripe bananas and the amount of almond paste used.
- Use any plant-based or dairy milk according to dietary preference.
- To make it more filling as breakfast, increase granola topping for added crunch and nutrients.
- Freezing bananas beforehand ensures a creamy, ice-cold smoothie without needing additional ice.
