Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4> Prepare all your ingredients by washing the berries (if using fresh) and peeling and chopping the cucumber. Having everything ready before blending ensures a smooth process and allows you to adjust quantities as needed for your perfect consistency. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4> Add the almond milk to your blender first, followed by the yogurt. Starting with liquids helps create a vortex for better blending and prevents dry ingredients from sticking to the bottom of your blender. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4> Add the mixed berries, cucumber, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed to the blender. If using collagen peptides, add them now. The combination of berries provides antioxidants while the seeds offer omega-3 fatty acids that support skin elasticity and hydration. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4> Add ice cubes if using fresh berries (skip if using frozen berries). The ice will help achieve that refreshing, thick texture that makes smoothies so satisfying. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4> Blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth and silky. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. For an ultra-silky texture, blend until you no longer see any seeds or fiber pieces from the berries - this might take a bit longer depending on your blender power. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4> Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and pulse briefly to combine. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes or a handful of frozen berries and blend again. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4> Pour immediately into chilled glasses for the best experience. The cold glass helps maintain the smooth, frosty texture of your smoothie. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and an optional sprinkle of additional chia seeds on top for visual appeal. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4> Serve right away to enjoy the optimal texture. The natural enzymes in fresh ingredients begin to oxidize quickly, and the smoothie will separate if left too long. If you need to prepare in advance, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours and give it a good shake before drinking. </li> </ol>
