Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or non-fat)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) unflavored or vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat/coconut milk)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Sliced fresh fruit or nuts for topping (optional, e.g., banana slices, almonds, pumpkin seeds)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: Measure 1 cup (150g) of frozen mixed berries, ½ cup (120g) of plain Greek yogurt, 1 scoop (about 30g) of protein powder, ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds, ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract, and optional 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey or maple syrup.
  2. Combine in blender: Add the frozen berries first, then the yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sweetener if using.
  3. Blend until smooth: Blend on high for about 45-60 seconds until creamy and spoonable.
  4. Check thickness: If too thick, add a splash more almond milk (about 1 tablespoon at a time) and pulse again. If too thin, add more frozen berries or yogurt.
  5. Pour into your bowl: Transfer the smoothie mixture carefully to your serving bowl.
  6. Add toppings: Arrange fresh fruit slices, nuts, or seeds on top for texture and visual appeal.
  7. Serve immediately: Enjoy right away for best flavor and texture. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 24 hours, stirring before eating and adding almond milk if needed.

Notes

Use frozen fruit to keep the bowl thick and cool. Measure protein powder carefully to avoid chalkiness. Chia seeds add fiber and help thicken but don’t overdo it to prevent gummy texture. Blend frozen berries first to avoid chunks. Serve immediately for best texture. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Optional toppings add texture and flavor.
