Chef's Notes
For a thicker smoothie, use frozen berries and a frozen banana. The honey can be omitted or swapped for maple syrup to suit taste. Chia seeds will thicken the smoothie slightly if it sits before drinking.
Plating Tips
Serve in chilled glasses or mason jars. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a few whole berries on top.
