A quick and easy smoothie bowl blending frozen berries, almond butter, and protein powder for a creamy, nutritious breakfast that supports weight loss and keeps you full for hours.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond butter
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder (plant-based recommended)
  • ¾ cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh berries and sliced almonds for topping

Instructions

  1. Measure and prep ingredients: Gather frozen mixed berries, almond butter, protein powder, almond milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, and sweetener if using.
  2. Place frozen berries and almond butter in the blender first. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture begins to smooth out but still has some texture.
  3. Add protein powder and almond milk. Blend again for 45-60 seconds until creamy and smooth. Add more almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time if needed for desired consistency.
  4. Add chia seeds and ground cinnamon. Pulse the blender a couple of times to combine without over-blending the chia seeds.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend briefly to mix.
  6. Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Top with fresh berries, sliced almonds, and a sprinkle of chia seeds or coconut flakes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use frozen berries to keep the smoothie thick and cold. Blend in stages for smoother texture. Add liquid gradually to avoid a runny smoothie. Avoid over-blending chia seeds to maintain texture. If the smoothie separates after sitting, stir before eating. Fresh toppings add crunch and color. Can substitute almond butter with peanut or sunflower seed butter. For keto, swap berries for avocado and use low-carb protein powder.
