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.
Cup of Yum
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.
