Protein Smoothie

Serving Size: 1

1 scoop whey or plant-based protein 

1/2 banana or berries

1 tbsp almond or peanut butter 

1 tbsp flax/chia seeds 

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Optional: handful spinach, ice

Directions 

Liquid First: Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into your blender. Adding liquid first prevents the protein powder from sticking to the bottom.

Add Protein & Seeds: Add 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 tbsp flax/chia seeds, and 1 tbsp nut butter.

Add Fruit & Veg: Toss in the ½ banana (or ½ cup berries) and the optional handful of spinach.

Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds until the seeds are fully broken down and the mixture is smooth.

Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk. If you prefer it colder, add 3–4 ice cubes and pulse again.
