Print Recipe

A quick, tasty, and nourishing creamy protein smoothie perfect for breakfast, post-workout refueling, or a creamy dessert replacement. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and natural sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond butter
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 3–4 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the ripe banana (about 1 medium banana). Measure out 1 scoop (30g) of your preferred protein powder and 1 tablespoon almond butter.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk into the blender.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt and the protein powder on top.
  4. Add banana slices, almond butter, and 1 teaspoon chia seeds if using.
  5. Drizzle 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if you want a sweeter smoothie.
  6. Add 3-4 ice cubes to chill the smoothie.
  7. Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for about 45-60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula if needed.
  8. Check consistency; if too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again for 10 seconds.
  9. Pour into your favorite glass or travel cup and serve immediately.

Notes

Add liquids first to prevent clumping and help blender blades move freely. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Scrape down blender sides during blending for even texture. For thicker smoothie, add more yogurt or frozen banana slices; for thinner, add more almond milk. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours and stir before drinking. Avoid freezing to prevent icy texture.
