Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1-1/2 cups Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk (12 oz.)
  • 1 cup frozen unsweetened blueberries
  • 2 small peaches pitted and sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Equipment

  • High-speed blender

Method
 

Combine Ingredients & Add the Twist
  1. In a high-speed blender, combine the 1-1/2 cups (12 oz.) Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk, 1 cup frozen unsweetened blueberries, 2 small peaches (pitted and sliced), and 2 ice cubes. Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds at this stage for an extra nutritional boost and thick texture.
Blend Until Smooth and Creamy
  1. Secure the lid tightly on your blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are completely smooth, with no visible chunks. Aim for a vibrant, uniform color and a luxuriously smooth consistency. Scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Allow to Thicken (The Chia Seed Magic)
  1. Before pouring and serving, let the smoothie sit directly in the blender or pour it into your serving glass and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This crucial step allows the chia seeds to fully hydrate and naturally thicken the smoothie, achieving that perfect, satisfying texture reminiscent of Panera’s.
Garnish and Serve
  1. Once the 5 minutes are up and the smoothie has thickened beautifully, pour it into your favorite glasses. For an appealing presentation, garnish with a few extra fresh berries or a thin slice of peach. Serve immediately to enjoy its perfectly fruity, refreshing, smooth, and slightly sweet character.

Notes

Don't skip the 5-minute chia seed soak for optimal thickness. Use a high-speed blender for best texture. Taste and adjust as needed. Prep freezer packs for convenience. Serve fresh, or store leftovers for up to 24 hours (re-blend if separated). Nutrition information is estimated based on common ingredients and serving sizes and may vary.
