Protein Smoothie with Mixed Berries and Almond Milk

Ingredients

• Whey protein powder 1 scoop (30g)
• Mixed berries 150 g
• Unsweetened almond milk 300 ml
• Honey 1 tbsp (21g)

Method

1. Prepare your ingredients. Gather all your ingredients: whey protein powder, mixed berries, unsweetened almond milk, and honey. If you are using frozen berries, you can use them directly without thawing.
   Tip: Using frozen berries makes the smoothie cold and thick without needing ice.
2. Add liquid base. Pour 300 ml of unsweetened almond milk into your blender. This will help the other ingredients blend smoothly.
   Tip: Adding the liquid first helps the blender work better and prevents powder from sticking to the bottom.
3. Add protein powder and berries. Add 1 scoop (30g) of whey protein powder to the blender. Then add 150g of mixed berries on top of the liquid.
   Tip: If you want a sweeter smoothie, you can add the honey after blending and adjust to taste.
4. Add honey. Add 1 tablespoon (21g) of honey to the blender. This adds natural sweetness to balance the tartness of the berries.
   Tip: You can reduce or omit honey if you prefer a less sweet smoothie.
5. Blend until smooth. Place the lid securely on your blender. Blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no chunks.
   Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
6. Serve immediately. Pour the smoothie into a glass. You can garnish with a few fresh berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired. Enjoy your protein-packed smoothie right away for the best taste and texture.
   Tip: If you want a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes before blending.

Pro tips

• Use frozen berries to make the smoothie thicker and colder without diluting the flavor.
• Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients without changing the taste much.
