When creating your Berry Bliss Chia Smoothie Bars, you have the flexibility to customize your bars with optional ingredients like oats and cinnamon. Oats not only enhance the texture but also add a hearty quality that makes these bars even more satisfying. When using oats, consider incorporating rolled oats for added chewiness or quick oats for a smoother consistency. Both types provide essential fiber, which aids digestion and keeps you feeling full longer.

Ingredients
  

2 cups mixed frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 ripe banana

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup rolled oats (optional, for added texture)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the frozen berries, banana, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. If using, also add the rolled oats and cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy.

    Incorporate Chia Seeds: Once the mixture is smooth, add the chia seeds and pulse the blender a few times to combine. Avoid over-blending, as you want the chia seeds to maintain their texture.

      Set the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.

        Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

          Slice and Serve: Once fully frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Lift the mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper. Carefully slice into bars of your desired size.

            Garnish (Optional): If you like, you can top the bars with additional fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of coconut flakes before serving.

              Store: Place the sliced bars in an airtight container separated by parchment paper. Store them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, enjoying them straight from the freezer!
