Banana Hazelnut Chia Shake
A creamy banana shake with roasted hazelnuts, chia seeds and an optional chocolate twist.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Banana — sliced | 1 small (or 1/2 large) |
| Roasted Hazelnuts | 2–3 tbsp (20–30 g) |
| Chia Seeds | 1 tbsp |
| Milk of Choice | 3/4 cup (180 ml) |
| Chocolate Chips (optional) | 1–2 tbsp |
| Ice Cubes | 4–5 cubes |
| Sweetener (optional) | To taste |
Method
- Liquid First: Pour in the milk.
- Add the Good Stuff: Add banana, hazelnuts (or hazelnut butter), chia seeds, and chocolate chips (optional).
- Chill: Add the ice cubes.
- Blend: Blend 45–60 seconds until creamy with tiny speckles. If it’s too thick, splash in a bit more milk.
Make it your own: Hazelnut butter gives an especially smooth result. For a thicker shake, use chilled or frozen banana pieces.

Portable blending notes
Add liquid before powders and firmer ingredients where possible. Cut larger pieces down to size, avoid overfilling the bottle, and add a small splash of liquid if the mixture is too thick to circulate.
Serve and enjoy straight away for the best texture.
