Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any low-cal dairy you love
  • 1 cup frozen berries strawberries, blueberries, or a mix
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein
  • 1 small banana frozen if you want extra creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional but worth it
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder optional but helps with fullness
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice as needed for the texture
  • Pinch of cinnamon or a splash of lemon juice for brightness optional

Instructions

  • Pour the almond milk into the blender. This keeps everything from sticking and gives you a smooth start.
  • Add frozen berries, banana, and yogurt. If you’re using protein powder, toss it in now.
  • Sprinkle in chia seeds and vanilla extract. These little champions help keep you full longer.
  • Add ice to reach your preferred thickness. More ice = thicker, less ice = thinner—your call.
  • Blend on high until everything is silky and uniform. If it’s grainy, stop, scrape the sides, and blend again.
  • Give it a quick taste. Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of lemon if you want a zing. Blend again for 15 seconds.
  • Pour into a glass, grab a straw, and enjoy. Pro tip: if you’re feeling fancy, top with a few berries or a sprinkle of chia.
