Ingredients

  • mixed berries (frozen) 1 cup
  • whey protein powder 1 scoop
  • unsweetened almond milk 1 cup
  • ground flaxseed 1 tbsp

Method

  1. Gather Ingredients. Collect all ingredients: 1 cup frozen mixed berries, 1 scoop whey protein powder, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed. Having everything ready makes the process smooth and quick.
    Tip: Use frozen berries to keep the smoothie cold and refreshing without needing ice.
  2. Add Liquids to Blender. Pour 1 cup (240g) of unsweetened almond milk into your blender first. Adding liquids first helps the blending process go smoothly and prevents dry ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
    Tip: If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use less almond milk or add ice cubes later.
  3. Add Frozen Berries. Add 1 cup (about 240g) of frozen mixed berries to the blender. The berries provide natural sweetness, vibrant color, and antioxidants.
    Tip: If you want a sweeter smoothie, you can add a small amount of honey or maple syrup, but this will increase calories.
  4. Add Protein Powder and Flaxseed. Add 1 scoop (30g) of whey protein powder and 1 tablespoon (14g) of ground flaxseed to the blender. The protein powder boosts muscle recovery and the flaxseed adds healthy fats and fiber.
    Tip: If you don’t have ground flaxseed, you can substitute with chia seeds, but nutrition will vary.
  5. Blend Until Smooth. Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no large chunks of berries or flaxseed.
    Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Serve Immediately. Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture. This smoothie is perfect as a quick meal or post-workout snack.
    Tip: You can garnish with a few fresh berries or a sprinkle of flaxseed on top for a nice presentation.
