Gather all your ingredients and place them near your blender for convenience.
Begin by adding the mixed berries to the blender. If you are using frozen berries, they will make the smoothie thicker and colder.
Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces before adding it to the blender.
Add one scoop of vanilla protein powder. Adjust the amount based on your dietary needs or preference.
Spoon in one cup of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
Pour one cup of almond milk into the blender. Feel free to adjust the quantity to reach your desired smoothie consistency.
Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for sweetness. If the berries are very sweet, this step may be optional.
Sprinkle a teaspoon of chia seeds into the blender for added fiber and nutrients.
Add about five ice cubes to make the smoothie cold (omit if you're using frozen berries).
Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or consistency if necessary by adding more sweetener or milk.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing berry protein smoothie!
