Description
A nutrient-packed Berry Almond Protein Smoothie that combines mixed berries, almond butter, protein powder, and almond milk, providing a satisfying and energizing boost. Perfect for breakfast, post-workout, or a snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 banana (for added sweetness and creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for added fiber)
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the mixed berries, almond butter, protein powder, almond milk, and banana.
- Add chia seeds and honey (if using) to the blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Fruit variations: Swap mixed berries for mango, pineapple, or peaches for a tropical twist.
- Nut butter options: Substitute almond butter with peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
- Sweetener alternatives: Use stevia, agave nectar, or coconut sugar as a sweetener alternative to honey or maple syrup.
- Additional add-ins: Add spinach, kale, or other leafy greens for more nutrients without changing flavor.
- Storage: Best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
