📖 Instructions

1. Gather Your Ingredients: Ensure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand: 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen), 1 sprig fresh rosemary, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened), 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon honey (optional).
2. Prepare the Rosemary: Gently wash the rosemary sprig. Remove the leaves from the stem; you'll only need the leaves for the smoothie to avoid a woody texture.
3. Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk and chia seeds. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to start expanding, which will give the smoothie a thicker consistency.
4. Add Fruits and Rosemary: Add the mixed berries and banana to the blender. Toss in the fresh rosemary leaves. Make sure everything is measured accurately for the best flavor balance.
5. Sweeten to Taste (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey according to your taste. Remember, the natural sweetness of the berries and banana should provide a good base.
6. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the smoothie is completely smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
7. Check Consistency and Taste: Pour the smoothie into a glass and check the consistency. It should be thick but easy to drink. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or rosemary flavor if needed. If you want a stronger rosemary flavor, you can add a few more leaves and blend again for a short burst.
8. Serve Immediately: For the best taste and nutritional benefits, serve the smoothie immediately. Garnish with a few fresh berries or a sprig of rosemary for an appealing presentation. Ah, look at that colour!
