Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Spinach leaves
• 4 pieces Ice cubes
• 1 packet Stevia or preferred low-carb sweetener

Directions

Step 1

Gather all the ingredients and ensure the berries are frozen for a thicker consistency.

Step 2

Start by adding the unsweetened almond milk to your blender.

Step 3

Add in the frozen mixed berries. For a smoother blend, you can let them sit at room temperature for a minute to slightly soften.

Step 4

Add the scoop of vanilla protein powder to the blender for the protein boost.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chia seeds into the mix, providing fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

Step 6

Scoop in the unsweetened Greek yogurt. This will add creaminess and additional protein.

Step 7

Add the fresh spinach leaves. These are optional but highly recommended for added nutrients without altering the flavor.

Step 8

Drop in the ice cubes to enhance the smoothie’s thickness and chill.

Step 9

Sprinkle the stevia or your preferred low-carb sweetener into the blender for the desired sweetness level.

Step 10

Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, which should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or consistency if needed by adding more sweetener, almond milk, or ice cubes.

Step 12

Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately while it's fresh and cold.
