Ingredients
  

1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 banana (frozen for creaminess)

1 cup almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of choice)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings (to your taste):

Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)

Sliced banana

Coconut flakes

Granola

Sliced almonds or walnuts

Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Seeds: In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir them well and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes until they form a gel-like consistency. This can also be done the night before and stored in the fridge.

    Blend the Smoothie Base: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen mixed berries, frozen banana, almond milk, sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.

      Combine with Chia Seeds: Once your smoothie is blended, add the prepared chia seed gel to the smoothie mixture. Use a spatula to stir it in gently, ensuring an even distribution without fully breaking down the chia seeds.

        Serve the Smoothie Bowl: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Use a spoon or spatula to create a smooth surface and a slight dip in the center for topping.

          Add Toppings: Elegantly layer your chosen toppings over the smoothie bowl. Start with fresh berries, then add banana slices, coconut flakes, granola, and sprinkle nuts on top. Finish with a few mint leaves for that extra pop of color.

            Enjoy: Grab a spoon and dig into your colorful and nutritious Bright Berry Chia Smoothie Bowl!
