Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

1 cup milk of choice (almond milk, oat milk, cow’s milk, or soy milk)
½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

Fruit

1 cup mixed frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Protein

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Instructions

Choose Your Base: Start by pouring the milk and Greek yogurt into your blender. Almond milk is recommended for its nutty undertone, and the Greek yogurt adds a creamy texture plus probiotics for digestive health.
Add the Fruit: Add 1 cup of mixed frozen berries to the blender. Using frozen berries makes the smoothie thick and cool without needing extra ice. You can also substitute with tropical fruits like mango and pineapple if desired.
Scoop the Protein: Add one scoop of vanilla protein powder into the blender. This adds sweetness and a rich depth of flavor, enhancing the smoothie’s nutritional profile. Chocolate protein powder is an alternative for a different flavor twist.
Blend Away: Blend the ingredients on high speed for 30–60 seconds or until the mixture is silky smooth with no chunks. Make sure all components are well combined into a creamy consistency.
Pour and Enjoy: Pour your smoothie into a tall glass or a to-go tumbler. Enjoy the creamy, cold, and flavorful drink that boosts your mornings with energy and nourishment.

Notes

You can turn this smoothie into a smoothie bowl by reducing the milk to make it thicker, then topping with granola, sliced bananas, and shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
If you don’t have frozen berries, use fresh fruit and add a handful of ice cubes to replicate the thick, chilled texture.
Adjust sweetness by adding half a banana or a drizzle of maple syrup if the smoothie tastes too tart.
Boost nutrition by adding 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseed for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Pre-measure ingredients into freezer-safe bags to make meal prep easier—a quick grab-and-blend solution for busy mornings.
Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking due to possible separation.
