Prepare Ingredients.
Measure out 1 scoop (30g) of whey protein powder, 0.75 cup (180g) of mixed berries, 1 tablespoon (14g) of chia seeds, and 0.5 cup (120g) of unsweetened almond milk. If using frozen berries, no need to thaw unless your blender is weak.
Tip: Using frozen berries helps make the smoothie bowl thick and cold without adding ice. -
Blend the Smoothie Base.
Add the whey protein powder, mixed berries, and almond milk into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a splash more almond milk.
Tip: Start blending at low speed to avoid powder flying out, then increase speed. -
Add Chia Seeds and Mix.
Pour the blended smoothie into a bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chia seeds evenly on top. You can either stir them in gently or leave them on top for texture.
Tip: Letting chia seeds soak for 5 minutes softens them and creates a gel-like texture. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Your high-protein smoothie bowl is ready to enjoy immediately. You can add extra toppings like sliced almonds or a few extra berries if desired, but be mindful of the calorie and macro targets.
Tip: Eat with a spoon to enjoy the thick, creamy texture.
Pro tips
- Use frozen berries to keep the smoothie bowl cold and thick without watering it down.
- If you want a creamier texture, add half a small banana or a tablespoon of nut butter, but adjust macros accordingly.
