Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (low-carb)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
- 4 pieces ice cubes
- 5 drops liquid stevia (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and ensure the blueberries are washed if not using pre-washed frozen ones.
In a blender, pour in the almond milk followed by blueberries, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, ice cubes, liquid stevia (if using), and vanilla extract to the blender.
Secure the lid of the blender and blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and the ice is completely crushed.
Check the consistency of the smoothie; if it's too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
Taste the smoothie, and if a sweeter taste is desired, add an additional drop or two of liquid stevia and blend quickly to combine.
Pour the smoothie into a large glass and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
