Instructions

Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, mixed 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 the smoothie consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk; if too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen berries and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Substitute any kind of milk you prefer for dairy-free options. Freeze your own berries ahead for best texture.
