Chef Tips

- Cool the hibiscus infusion for a few minutes in the refrigerator or with ice cubes before blending with the plant-based milk. - Use a high-speed blender to completely grind the seeds of the raspberries and blackberries. - Add the chia seeds before blending so that they integrate into the liquid, promoting prolonged satiety.

Variations

- Transform into a smoothie bowl by pouring into a bowl and decorating with crispy homemade granola and fresh fruit. - Add a measuring scoop of vanilla-flavored plant-based protein powder for a fortified post-workout snack. - Add a fresh mint leaf or Sicilian lemon zest to the glass to accentuate the freshness.

Substitutions

- Almond milk can be replaced by oat milk, mild coconut milk, or skim cow's milk. - The fresh or frozen raspberries can be replaced by blackberries or frozen ripe strawberries. - Honey can be substituted for maple syrup, date nectar, or omitted if you prefer a more acidic drink.

How to Store

Ideal consumption is immediately after blending. If you need to transport it, store it in a well-sealed thermal bottle protected from light for up to 12 hours, shaking vigorously before drinking.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze the hibiscus infusion with the red fruits in ready-made portions inside small bags for up to 2 months. At the time of preparation, just pour the frozen ingredients with the yogurt into the blender.

What to Serve With

Accompany with whole wheat toast with peanut butter or simple scrambled eggs with olive oil and herbs. A portion of Brazil nuts or walnuts provides good fats complementary to breakfast.
