A quick, easy, and delicious berry protein smoothie packed with wholesome ingredients for a fresh energy boost any time of the day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) mixed berries, frozen or fresh
  • 1 scoop (30g) protein powder, vanilla whey or plant-based
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk or preferred dairy/non-dairy milk
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free
  • ½ ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: measure 1 cup (150g) of mixed berries, peel and halve half a ripe banana and mash it slightly, measure ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, and get your protein powder and almond milk ready.
  2. Add to the blender: pour in 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk, then add the berries, banana, Greek yogurt, and 1 scoop (30g) protein powder.
  3. Add optional ingredients: sprinkle in 1 tablespoon chia seeds, add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Blend until smooth: start blender on low, then ramp up to high and blend for 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or frozen berries/Greek yogurt as needed.
  5. Serve immediately: pour into a glass or travel tumbler and optionally garnish with fresh berries or chia seeds.

Notes

Use frozen berries for a thicker, chilled smoothie without adding ice. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup as preferred. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt. Clean blender immediately after use to maintain performance.
