Prep Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1 Serving

Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe banana peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen
  • 1 scoop protein powder plant-based or whey, any flavor you like
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt optional, for extra creaminess and protein
  • 1 tablespoon nut powder Optional

Instructions

    1 medium ripe banana, 1/2 cup mixed berries, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 tablespoon nut powder, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • If you want your smoothie cold, add ice too.
    1/2 cup ice cubes
  • Start on a low speed, then increase to high for 30 to 60 seconds. Stop and scrape the sides if needed.
  • Blend until it looks creamy and there aren’t any big fruit pieces or clumps.
  • Take a quick sip. Add sweetener of choice if required.
  • IF smoothi is too thick add some water to adjust consistency.

Notes

  • If you’re using frozen berries, they’ll chill and thicken your smoothie.
  • If you like your smoothies extra cold or thick, drop in the ice cubes last.
  • Tips for the Perfect Smoothie Every Time
    • Consistency matters: For a thicker smoothie, use frozen fruit or add more yogurt. To thin it out, add extra water or milk until you get your preferred texture.
    • Adjust for flavor: Taste before you pour! If it needs more flavor, add a few drops of vanilla extract, or a pinch of cinnamon. Make-ahead option: Prep smoothie packs by adding all solid ingredients to freezer bags. In the morning, dump into the blender and add your liquid.
    • Protein boost: If one scoop isn’t enough, add an extra half scoop, but be careful not to overpower the fruit flavor.
