Ingredients

Units Scale

High Protein Berry Smoothie

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Green Protein Smoothie

  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 1 small frozen banana
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 scoop plant-based protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients for your chosen smoothie. Ensure any bananas or fruits intended to be frozen are pre-sliced and frozen for a thick, creamy texture.
  2. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place liquid ingredients (such as almond milk or soy milk) into the blender first, followed by protein powder, nut butters, fruits, greens, seeds, and any optional sweeteners or spices.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 45-60 seconds, or until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again. For a thinner smoothie, continue adding liquid gradually.
  5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of seeds, oats, or a few fresh berries for presentation.

Notes

  • To boost fiber, add greens or extra seeds like hemp or chia.
  • Swap in any preferred milk or non-dairy substitutes as needed.
  • Adjust sweetness by using more or less banana, or by omitting honey.
  • For extra coldness, use more frozen fruit or add a handful of ice.
