A quick, easy, and nourishing smoothie packed with mixed berries, Greek yogurt, and protein powder for a creamy, refreshing, and protein-rich treat perfect for breakfast or post-workout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 cup (240ml) Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (around 25g protein; vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based)
  • 1 ripe medium banana
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or other milk like oat or coconut milk)
  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients: Measure 1 cup (150g) of mixed berries, 1 cup (240ml) Greek yogurt, 1 ripe banana, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk, and optional add-ins like honey, chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
  2. Add berries and banana to the blender.
  3. Pour in Greek yogurt and almond milk.
  4. Add protein powder.
  5. Include optional ingredients: chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  6. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a splash of almond milk and blend again.
  7. Check consistency and taste; adjust sweetness or thickness as needed.
  8. Pour into your favorite glass and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh berries or chia seeds if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Add protein powder last and blend until just combined to avoid clumps. If using frozen berries, let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before blending to ease blending. Add almond milk gradually to adjust thickness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours; stir or re-blend before drinking. Avoid freezing once blended to maintain texture.
