Single Serve Berry Protein Smoothie
This Single Serve Berry Protein Smoothie uses mixed frozen berries, banana, and multiple sources of protein for a filling, nourishing breakfast or snack. This smoothie has 32 grams of protein and is only 240 calories! It has the perfect amount of sweetness & tartness to it and is so easy to make! In fact, you probably have all of these ingredients at home already. If you are looking for healthy drinks, try my Healthy Single Serve Frozen Lemonade as well!

Base Ingredients
- Banana - 1/2 of a frozen ripe banana. Be sure to use a frozen one to assist with getting that smoothie texture.
- Mixed Berries - I used 1/2 cup from a frozen pack of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Feel free to use your favorite berries but make sure they are frozen!
- Almond Milk - I used 1/2 cup of unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk. You can use any kind of milk you would like though, such at oat milk.
- Greek Yogurt - I used 1/4 cup of plain, non-fat Greek yogurt for added protein and creaminess!
- Protein Powder - Use 30 grams of your preferred protein powder. My personal favorite is by the brand Prozis (either the zero diet whey vanilla or the natural vanilla whey isolate). You can actually use the code "KATIE10" for 10% off at Prozis! I also love Alani Nutrition & Isopure protein powder.
- Swerve - 1 teaspoon of Swerve or stevia, optional if you want to make your smoothie a bit sweeter!
Optional Add-Ins
Here are some of my go-to favorite smoothie add-ins:
- Greens - I like blending some greens into my smoothies because you can't even taste them and they contain vital superfoods! Alani Nutrition, 1st Phorm, & LSF Nutrition are my favorites.
- Collagen - I love the Collagen Peptides + Hyaluronic Acid mix by Alani Nutrition. You can get this from GNC or their website! This is great for your skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and more!
- Apple Cider Vinegar - Put a little splash of apple cider vinegar into your smoothie for some added gut health.
- Chia Seeds - Chia seeds are high in fiber, protein, and omega-3s. Here are the ones I use.
- Hemp Seeds - Full of omega-3s and omega-6s! Prozis sells very affordable ones! You can find them here.
How To Make It
- Add all ingredients to a small blender, such as a Nutribullet or Blend Jet.
- Blend for two cycles and enjoy!!
Why Is Consuming Protein Important?
- Protein is nutrient-rich, so it helps you stay fuller longer. You are more likely to eat less when you have high protein meals because you won't have the munchies!
- It boosts your metabolism & increases fat burning.
- It increases muscles & strength. If you are lifting weights and not eating enough protein, you aren't going to see much of a difference!
- It lowers your blood pressure.
