Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) — fresh or frozen
- 1 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based; ~24–30 g protein per scoop)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or regular milk (dairy or fortified plant milk)
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew) — optional, for creaminess
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds — optional, for fiber and omega-3s
- Ice cubes — optional, for a colder, thicker texture
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the mixed berries, protein powder, and almond milk. Add the nut butter if using.
- Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and healthy fats if desired.
- Blend on high until smooth and evenly mixed, about 30–60 seconds depending on your blender.
- If you prefer a colder or thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again until crushed and smooth.
- Pour into a glass or travel cup and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Choose your protein powder wisely and consider using plant-based alternatives for dietary preferences. Optionally garnish with a few whole berries or nut butter for an appealing finish.
