Description
This is your powerhouse-in-a-glass. A smoothie that’s not just healthy and delicious, but also seriously satisfying thanks to a solid dose of protein. Whether you’re kickstarting your morning, refueling after a workout, or just trying to hold off the snack attacks until lunch, this smoothie has your back. It’s creamy, fruity, naturally sweetened, and packs 25–30 grams of protein without tasting like chalk. No weird powders needed (unless you’re into that), and totally customizable.
Ingredients
1 frozen banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)
¾ cup frozen mixed berries (or your favorite fruit blend)
¾ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, full-fat or low-fat)
1 scoop protein powder (optional, any flavor you like)
1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter (for healthy fats and extra protein)
1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (fiber + omega-3s)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you like)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor boost)
Ice cubes (optional, if you like it extra cold and thick)
Instructions
Load the blender: Add everything to your blender—start with the liquid first so it blends more easily.
Blend: Crank it up and blend on high until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed.
Taste and tweak: Want it sweeter? Add a splash of maple syrup or a pitted date. Too thick? Add more milk. Not thick enough? Toss in more frozen banana or ice.
Serve it up: Pour into your favorite glass or shaker bottle and sip immediately while it’s cold and frosty.
Notes
Dairy-free? Use plant-based yogurt and milk.
No banana? Sub frozen mango or avocado for creaminess.
Low-carb? Skip the banana and use berries only.
Nut-free? Use sunflower seed butter or skip the nut butter altogether.
No protein powder? Add extra Greek yogurt or throw in cottage cheese (trust me, it blends in smooth and adds a protein boost).
