Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or berry-flavored)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk (any type)
- Optional: 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of mixed berries, 1 scoop of protein powder, 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 cup of milk, and optional sweetener.
- Prep the banana: Peel the banana and cut it into chunks. If using fresh berries, rinse and pat them dry.
- Add to blender: Place the banana, berries, protein powder, yogurt, and milk into the blender. If using frozen berries, you can skip adding ice.
- Blend: Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Stop halfway to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Taste and adjust: Taste your smoothie and decide if it needs extra sweetness. If so, add 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup and blend for another 10 seconds.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass or travel cup. Garnish with extra berries or granola if desired.
Notes
Use frozen banana chunks for extra creaminess and a chilled smoothie. Adjust the thickness by adding more milk if needed. Layer ingredients in the blender starting with liquids for better blending.
