Protein Smoothie Recipe: Ingredients & Alternatives

Fat Free Milk

• I personally use fat free milk due to the fact it is lower in calorie and higher in protein. However, any milk will work such as almond milk, oat milk, etc. Just keep in mind that the nutrition will vary depending on the milk (ex: whole milk is more calorie dense).

Greek Yogurt

• Greek yogurt has many benefits which include it being a great source of protein, probiotics, and being very satiating. For this recipe, I used plain, unsweetened yogurt but it can also be substituted for vanilla Greek yogurt or plain yogurt (regular yogurt).

Frozen Blueberries

• I recommend using frozen berries to make the smoothie cold naturally - it also helps with making the smoothie creamy. If you aren’t a fan of blueberries or would like to add more variety, you can substitute with your favorite fruits (mangoes, strawberries, raspberries, etc.).

Frozen Bananas

• Adding frozen bananas will introduce sweetness to the smoothie while creating a creamier texture.

Vanilla Protein Powder

• I recommend vanilla protein powder as a staple for your protein smoothies - it is versatile to mix in with fruits compared to other flavors like chocolate.

Ice

• To guarantee that my smoothie is cold, I like to add a handful of ice!

Optional Add-Ins

• Overall, this is a recipe that is made to my liking. If you’d like to implement more ingredients, feel free to do so. Great additions would be spinach, chia seeds, collagen powder, almond butter, and more!
