Start by peeling and slicing the medium banana into small chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, combine 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries, the sliced banana, and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk.
Add 1 scoop of vanilla pea protein powder to the blender, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Include 1 tablespoon of chia seeds which will add thickness and nutritional value to your smoothie.
Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, depending on your taste preference or dietary needs, to add a touch of sweetness.
Lastly, add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender for a refreshing chill and desired consistency.
Secure the lid on the blender, and blend on high speed until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth, usually for about 1-2 minutes.
Stop the blender and check the consistency. If the smoothie is thicker than you prefer, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
Pour the smoothie into glasses, and serve immediately. Enjoy your rejuvenating, protein-packed, soy-free blueberry smoothie!
