Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Spinach leaves
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 packet Stevia or preferred low-carb sweetener
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and ensure the berries are frozen for a thicker consistency.
Start by adding the unsweetened almond milk to your blender.
Add in the frozen mixed berries. For a smoother blend, you can let them sit at room temperature for a minute to slightly soften.
Add the scoop of vanilla protein powder to the blender for the protein boost.
Sprinkle the chia seeds into the mix, providing fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Scoop in the unsweetened Greek yogurt. This will add creaminess and additional protein.
Add the fresh spinach leaves. These are optional but highly recommended for added nutrients without altering the flavor.
Drop in the ice cubes to enhance the smoothie’s thickness and chill.
Sprinkle the stevia or your preferred low-carb sweetener into the blender for the desired sweetness level.
Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or consistency if needed by adding more sweetener, almond milk, or ice cubes.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately while it's fresh and cold.
