Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Elderberry syrup High quality, store-bought or homemade
- 1.5 cup Frozen mixed berries Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries work best
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk Or any plant-based milk of choice
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt Plain, for protein and creaminess
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger Peeled and finely grated
- 1 tbsp Chia seeds For added fiber and omega-3s
- 1 tsp Raw honey Optional, to balance the tartness
- 0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon Adds warmth and flavor
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey. This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 4 hours; shake well before drinking as chia seeds may thicken the liquid.
