Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Blueberries: 1 cup 240 ml
  • Greek Yogurt plain, unsweetened: 1 cup (240 ml)
  • Almond milk unsweetened: 1/2 cup (120 ml)
  • Protein powder vanilla or unflavored: 2 scoops
  • Chia seeds: 1 tablespoon 15 ml
  • Almond butter: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • Ice cubes: 6-8 pieces
  • Honey or agave nectar optional: 1 tablespoon (15 ml)

Method
 

  1. Start by washing your blueberries thoroughly. These little berries can sometimes hold onto dirt and pesticides.
  2. Into your blender, add the freshly washed blueberries. They’re the star of your Protein-Packed Blueberry Smoothie.
  3. Next, throw in the Greek yogurt. This ingredient not only gives your smoothie a creamy texture but also a good dose of protein.
  4. Pour in the almond milk, making sure you measure out half a cup. This dairy-free option is light and will give your smoothie a smoother texture.
  5. Time to power up! Add in the two scoops of protein powder.
  6. Sprinkle the chia seeds for that extra dose of fiber and omega-3.
  7. For a nutty flavor and added protein, add the almond butter.
  8. Ice, ice, baby! Toss in those ice cubes for a refreshing cold Protein-Packed Blueberry Smoothie.
  9. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, drizzle in the honey or agave nectar.
  10. Ready to blend? Pulse your blender until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk.
  11. Once blended to perfection, pour your Protein-Packed Blueberry Smoothie into two glasses and get ready to enjoy!

Notes

TIPS FOR THE PERFECT SMOOTHIE
  1. Always use fresh blueberries. Frozen can work in a pinch, but fresh gives a vibrant taste.
  2. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste. You can always add more honey later.
  3. For an extra protein punch, consider adding flax seeds or hemp seeds.
  4. If you’re lactose intolerant, replace Greek yogurt with lactose-free yogurt.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
  • Pair your Protein-Packed Blueberry Smoothie with a slice of whole-grain toast for a complete breakfast.
  • Pouring your smoothie into a bowl and topping with granola, fresh berries, and a drizzle of honey can turn it into a sumptuous smoothie bowl.
  • Want to enjoy it post-workout? Add a scoop of your favorite collagen supplement to help with muscle recovery.
