Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mixed berries
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup milk (dairy or almond)
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1/2 cup ice (optional, for extra thick)
Instructions
- Load the blender. Add the milk first, then the yogurt, banana, protein powder, berries, and ice.
- Blend. Blend 45-60 seconds until completely silky, tamping or scraping as needed.
- Adjust. Too thick? Add milk a splash at a time. Too thin? Add a few more frozen berries or ice.
- Taste. Taste and add honey only if your berries are tart.
- Serve. Pour into tall glasses and drink immediately.
💡 Smoothie smarts
Liquid first, frozen stuff last — it blends faster and smoother. Frozen berries (not fresh) give the thick, frosty texture without watering it down. Drink it right away; protein smoothies separate as they sit.
Common questions
Can I skip the protein powder?
Yes — double the Greek yogurt instead. You will still get a solid protein boost.
Can I use fresh berries?
Yes, but add the ice so it stays thick and cold. Frozen berries give the best texture.
Is it good for meal prep?
Blend and freeze in jars; thaw overnight in the fridge and shake well. Best within 2 days.
Can I make it dairy-free?
Use almond or oat milk, dairy-free yogurt, and a plant-based protein powder.
