Ingredients
For the Smoothie Base:
1frozen banana (slice it before freezing so your blender has an easier time)
1cupfrozen blueberries
½cupGreek yogurt (plain or vanilla works great)
¼cupmilk of choice
1scoopvanilla protein powder
Optional Toppings
Fresh strawberry slices
Fresh blueberries
Chia seeds
Crunchy granola or chopped walnuts
Instructions
Put liquids in first: Pour your milk and Greek yogurt into the bottom of the blender. Putting the liquid in first helps the blender blades turn smoothly.
Add the frozen fruit: Toss in your frozen banana slices and frozen blueberries.
Add the protein: Scoop your favorite vanilla protein powder right on top.
Blend until thick: Secure the lid tightly and blend on high. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides once or twice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and creamy.
Pour and decorate: Pour the beautiful purple mixture into your favorite bowl. Line up your toppings in pretty rows just like in berry blast.png using fresh strawberries, extra blueberries, chia seeds, and granola.
Grab a spoon: Enjoy your refreshing bowl immediately while it is perfectly cold!
If you want that perfect spoonable texture, make sure your fruit is completely frozen. If your blender struggles, just add one extra tablespoon of milk at a time!
Notes
Frozen Fruit Only: Use 100% frozen banana and blueberries to ensure a thick, spoonable texture.
Liquid First: Layer milk and Greek yogurt at the bottom of the blender so the blades turn easily.
Tamp or Scrape: Use a blender tamper or stop to scrape down the sides if the thick mixture stalls the blades.
Adjust Wisely: If the blend is completely stuck, add extra milk just one tablespoon at a time.
