How to Make a Banana Berry Protein Smoothie

Step 1: Grab Your Blender

Toss everything into your blender—yes, all at once! The frozen berries and banana go in first, followed by yogurt, protein powder, and milk.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

Start on low and gradually increase to high. Blend until you’ve got a silky-smooth texture with no chunks left behind.

Step 3: Taste and Adjust

Need it sweeter? Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Too thick? Splash in a bit more milk. Too thin? Add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit.

Step 4: Pour and Enjoy

Serve immediately in your favorite glass or to-go cup. Top with berries, granola, or even a spoonful of nut butter if you’re feeling fancy.

Pro Tips for Smoothie Success

• Don’t skip the protein powder—it gives this smoothie serious staying power.
• Want it thicker? Add a handful of ice or reduce the milk slightly.
• Make it vegan by using plant-based yogurt and protein powder.

Flavor Variations

• Green boost: Add a handful of spinach—you won’t even taste it!
