Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored plant-based protein powder whey also works
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free coconut yogurt
  • 1 medium frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries strawberries, blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseed meal
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 1 handful fresh spinach optional – you won’t taste it!
  • 3 –4 ice cubes for extra frostiness

Method
 

  1. Add almond milk, yogurt, and protein powder to the blender first to prevent powder from sticking.
  2. Add frozen banana, berries, almond butter, chia seeds, cinnamon, and spinach (if using).
  3. Top with ice cubes and secure the lid tightly.
  4. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Stop and scrape down sides if needed, then blend for another 10 seconds.
  6. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture.
  7. For a thinner consistency, add 2–4 more tablespoons of milk and blend again.
  8. For a thicker "smoothie bowl," reduce milk to 3/4 cup and top with granola.

Notes

  • Swap a banana for 1/2 avocado to lower sugar while keeping creaminess.
  • Prep-ahead: portion all dry ingredients into zip bags for "smoothie packs."
  • This smoothie stays fresh in the fridge for up to 24 hours – shake well before drinking.
  • Add 1/2 scoop of collagen peptides for an extra 10g of protein.
  • Not sweet enough? Add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey to taste.
