Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
Frozen Mixed Berries: I used blend of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, which is my go-to these days because I can buy a bag of mixed berries at the store. See below for some of my favorite flavor combos.
Frozen Banana: always keep frozen bananas on hand for smoothies and desserts! Using a frozen banana makes your smoothie nice and creamy, so you don't have to water it down with ice.
Non-Dairy Greek Style Yogurt: greek-style yogurt creates a thick and creamy texture and adds even more protein. I've been loving Kite Hill's greek-style yogurt
Soy Milk: you can use any non-dairy milk, but soy milk in particular adds another boost of protein
Vegan Protein Powder: I used Naked Nutrition's Almond Powder - this is my go-to for a naturally sweet, neutral flavored, digestion-friendly protein. I love this brand because of how clean there ingredients are. See notes below for more protein recommendations.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1. Add all the ingredients to a blender. For easy blending and no stuck protein powder, start with the fruit, then yogurt, then protein, and finish with milk.
Step 2. Blend on the smoothie setting or on high for 1 minute, until smooth. Serve immediately or store for later (see post for notes).
Other flavor combinations
You can switch up your smoothie flavor so easily by swapping out the berries. Here are some of my favorite combos:
Strawberries & Kiwi: 1/2 cup frozen strawberries + 1 frozen kiwi
Blueberry Lemon: 3/4 cup frozen blueberries + a squeeze of lemon juice or zest if your feeling fancy (Naked Nutrition has a blueberry muffin protein powder that would be delicious with this)
Tropical Orange: 1/4 cup frozen mango, 1/4 cup frozen pineapple, 1 cutie or 1/2 orange
PB Berry: keep the berries the same, use PB powder, and add 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter
Coffee: add another 1/2 or full frozen banana; sub half the milk with 1/2 cup cold brew
Chocolate Cherry: 3/4 cup frozen cherries + 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
