Start by pouring 1 cup of almond milk into a high-speed blender. Add ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend on low to combine.

Peel and break a ripe banana into chunks, adding it to the blender along with 1 cup of frozen blueberries and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Blend on medium for 30 seconds.

Increase the blender speed to high and blend for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth. Adjust thickness with more almond milk if necessary.

Taste the smoothie and add 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup if more sweetness is desired. Blend again on low to mix.

Pour into a glass and let sit for 2 minutes to allow chia seeds to expand, thickening the smoothie.

Give the smoothie a gentle stir before serving, and optionally top with extra chia seeds or blueberries.
