Ingredients

  • 1 cup water or almond milk
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries (see note 1)
  • 1 scoop protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt (see note 2)
  • Maple syrup to taste, optional (see note 3)

Instructions

  • In the bottom of a blender, add water, blueberries, and protein powder or Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  1. Blueberries: To substitute fresh blueberries, add ½ cup ice or more to the blender.
  2. Protein powder: Use either your favorite vanilla protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt.
  3. Maple syrup: Taste the smoothie before adding any sweeteners, then start with a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey. If you use a vanilla-flavored protein powder, you probably won’t need anything.
  4. Yield: This recipe makes about 2 cups of smoothie, enough for 1 serving.
  5. Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Some separation may occur, so shake or stir to combine before enjoying.
