Berry Blast Protein Smoothie

Why you'll love this recipe

Berries are nutritional powerhouses, packed with antioxidants, fibre, and vitamins while being relatively low in sugar. Combined with protein powder, this makes the perfect post-workout recovery drink.

Ingredients

• 150g frozen mixed berries
• 30g vanilla or berry protein powder
• 200ml unsweetened almond milk
• 100g Greek yoghurt
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• Honey to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. Add liquid first: Pour almond milk into blender.

2. Add remaining ingredients: Add frozen berries, protein powder, Greek yoghurt, and chia seeds.

3. Blend until smooth: Blend on high for 60-90 seconds until creamy.

4. Taste and adjust: Add honey if more sweetness is desired.

Tips for success

• Use frozen berries: Creates a thick, ice-cream-like texture.
• Let chia seeds sit: If time allows, let smoothie sit 5 minutes for chia to absorb liquid.

Variations

• Single berry: Use all strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.
• Acai bowl: Make thicker and eat with a spoon, topped with granola.
• Dairy-free: Replace Greek yoghurt with coconut yoghurt.

Storage

Best consumed immediately. Refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
