Instructions

Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, mixed frozen berries, chia seeds, and sea salt.
Add the ice cubes. Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use mixed frozen berries instead of just banana to match the 'berry' flavor in the name. You can substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
