- 1 medium banana, sliced
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey, plus more to taste
- 1 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 4–5 fresh mint leaves

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and mint. Hull the strawberries and slice the banana into smaller pieces so everything blends easily.

Add the milk, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, banana, oats, chia seeds, honey, and mint leaves to a blender. Add the ice if you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie.

Blend on high for about 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
Taste the smoothie and add a little more honey if needed. For a thinner consistency, blend in another tablespoon or two of milk.

Recipe Notes
- For a creamier smoothie: Use dairy milk or add 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt.
- For a dairy-free version: Use unsweetened almond, oat, or soy milk.
- For a thicker texture: Freeze the banana and berries before blending and reduce the ice.
- For extra sweetness: Add another teaspoon of honey, or use a very ripe banana.
- Make ahead: Blend the smoothie and refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking.
- Storage: Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
- Serving suggestion: Top with a few blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries, and fresh mint for a pretty finish.
