    Set a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mixed nuts and toast, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly darkened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. 02
    Add the fresh strawberries, frozen bananas, buttermilk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend on high until thick and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. 03
    Add the chia seeds and pulse just to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  4. 04
    Divide the smoothie mixture evenly among four shallow bowls.

    Top each bowl artfully with a handful of granola, a portion of the toasted nuts, fresh strawberry slices, and blueberries.

    Serve immediately while cold, with extra honey on the side for drizzling if desired.
