Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or your milk of choice
  • 1 cup frozen berries strawberry, blueberry, or mixed—your call
  • 1/2 banana frozen works great for creaminess
  • 1 handful spinach optional, but you’ll thank me later
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder optional if you want extra staying power
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds for fiber—yes, we’re counting
  • Ice cubes as needed for thickness
  • Small squeeze of lemon or lime optional, brightens flavor

Instructions

  • Pour the almond milk into a blender. It’s your liquid foundation—don’t skimp.
  • Add frozen berries, banana, spinach (if using), and Greek yogurt. The color may look questionable, but trust the taste.
  • Drop in the protein powder and chia seeds. This is where the fuel happens.
  • Pulse to break things up, then blend on high until silky smooth. Add ice and blend again if you like it thicker.
  • Taste. If it’s too tart, a quick squeeze of lemon or a hint of vanilla can save the day.
  • Pour into a glass, garnish if you feel fancy, and sip confidently.
