Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Frozen banana
- 1 cup Mixed frozen berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the banana and slice it into chunks for easier blending, if needed.
In a blender, combine the frozen banana, mixed frozen berries, protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and honey or maple syrup if using.
Add the ice cubes to the blender for a colder, thicker smoothie.
Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding a little more honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Pour the smoothie into a glass or travel cup and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a few fresh berries on top.
