Instructions

Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, mixed berries, ground flaxseed, and pinch of fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes on top.
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 frozen mixed berries to keep the smoothie cold and thick. Substitute oat milk to make it dairy-free.
