Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop (approx. 25-30g) unflavored or vanilla protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened coconut milk (from carton)
- 1/4 – 1/2 medium avocado OR 1 tbsp natural almond/cashew butter
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
- 1 large handful fresh baby spinach or destemmed kale
- Optional: 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flax seeds
- Optional: Liquid stevia or erythritol to taste
- Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1. Gather Your Ingredients: Lay out all your measured ingredients: protein powder, unsweetened milk, avocado/nut butter, frozen berries, and greens. This saves time and ensures nothing is forgotten.
- 2. Load the Blender: Pour the unsweetened almond or coconut milk into your blender first. Follow with the greens, then the avocado or nut butter, protein powder, and any optional seeds or vanilla extract. Lastly, add the frozen berries.
- 3. Blend Until Creamy: Secure the lid and start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for at least 60-90 seconds, using a tamper if needed, until the smoothie is completely smooth, thick, and free of any lumps or icy bits.
- 4. Adjust and Serve: Taste your smoothie. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and re-blend. If you prefer it sweeter, add a couple of drops of liquid stevia or a tiny pinch of erythritol and blend briefly. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!
