Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1 medium banana, peeled and frozen
- 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla-flavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk (or dairy/oat milk as substitute)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather and measure ingredients: 1 cup frozen mixed berries and peel banana (freeze banana ahead for best texture).
- Add frozen berries, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to blender.
- Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until thick and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Add almond milk a tablespoon at a time if too thick.
- Taste and add honey or maple syrup if sweeter flavor is desired; blend briefly to combine.
- Pour smoothie into a serving bowl, ensuring it is thick enough to hold toppings.
- Add toppings such as sliced fresh berries, banana slices, granola, shredded coconut, or extra chia seeds.
Notes
If blender struggles with frozen fruit, let berries thaw 5-10 minutes before blending. Use ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess. Blend protein powder with yogurt before adding fruit to avoid clumps. Adjust almond milk to achieve desired thickness. Customize toppings for texture and flavor. Can substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt for vegan version.
