This study provides a detailed analysis of a quinoa-almond milk smoothie enhanced with dark chocolate, vanilla essence, brown sugar, and dates, combining indulgence with high nutrition. The investigation's scope has been expanded to include physio-chemical and microbiological tests, as well as analysis of bever-age safety and composition and harmony of flavors. This meal is very nutritious and only needs quinoa and almond milk. The flavor is enhanced by Brown sugar, vanilla essence, and dark chocolate. The smoothie's promise as a delicious plant-based substitute is supported by the positive findings of the Hedonic Scale-based sensory evaluation. Physiochemical analysis is used to evaluate the complex composition and provides information on a number of properties, including pH, viscosity, and antioxi-dant concentration. Concurrently, microbiological testing veri-fies the beverage's safety by looking for any impurities. The assessment of antibacterial activity also considers the potential health benefits of the smoothie. The results of this study con-tribute to our knowledge of the beverage's nutritional value and safety. Additionally, the interaction effect of all three samples T0(Control), T1(70:20:10), T2(50:30:20) was studied to under-stand how varying proportions of ingredients affect the final product.
