Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ripe medium banana
- 1 cup frozen blueberries I prefer this to fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Low fat fat-free or Greek yoghurt (use a vegan yoghurt if you are vegan)
- 1/2 cup fat-free milk or full cream milk or any dairy-free milk of your choice
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder I use a whey protein powder that has 113 calories and 20grams of protein per scoop - if you are using unflavoured protein powder you can add vanilla extract
- 1 Tbs natural peanut butter or almond butter or other nut butter of your choice
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp flax meal or lightly milled flaxseeds
- 1 Tbsp acai berry powder optional
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to your Blender and blend until you have a smooth and creamy texture, adding more milk as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, use a frozen banana. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add more milk. And if you want to switch things up, try adding some healthy greens like spinach or kale for an extra boost of nutrients.
Notes
For a smoothie on the go, transport it in a sealed smoothie cup or mason jar.
This smoothie is best consumed immediately. It can be stored and consumed a day later but the texture will change as a result of the chia seeds absorbing water.
