Ingredients
  

  • 1 large banana peeled, quartered, frozen
  • 1 ½ cups pitaya cubed, frozen
  • ¾ cups plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon agave
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions
 

  • Fast Version
  • Add frozen fruits, plant-based milk, almond butter, agave, and chia seeds to a high-speed blender, and blend until very smooth.
  • Taste and adjust flavor as needed. Add more agave for more sweetness or add more almond milk to thin to desired texture.
  • Pour into a large glass or 2 medium glasses and serve immediately. 

  • Slower Version
  • Place the chia seeds and coconut milk into a jar overnight or for at least 15 minutes.
  • Blend remaining ingredients in the blender until smooth adding only enough liquid to blend.
  • Pour the smoothie over top the chia coconut pudding in the jar. Drink immediately.

Notes

  • Add more plant-based milk to thin out the smoothie to the desired texture.
  • Feel free to use your favorite nut butter or nut-free butter of your choice.
  • The longer chia seeds sit in liquid, the more pudding-like they'll get.
  • Freeze for longer-term storage or freeze in ice cube mold to use in future smoothies.
