Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie blending ripe bananas, fresh or frozen blueberries, protein powder, and creamy Greek yogurt for a wholesome breakfast or snack boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 1 large ripe banana. If using fresh blueberries, rinse and pat dry; if frozen, no prep needed.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of almond milk into the blender to help blades move smoothly.
  3. Add banana slices and 1 cup (150 g) of blueberries on top of the liquid. Add ice cubes now if you want a thicker smoothie.
  4. Add 1 scoop (about 30 g) of protein powder.
  5. Add ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed.
  6. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired.
  7. Secure the lid and blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and creamy. Add more almond milk if too thick and blend again.
  8. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness as needed.
  9. Serve immediately in a glass or travel cup.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Frozen blueberries chill and thicken the smoothie without watering it down. Layer ingredients starting with liquids to help blending. Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or silken tofu for dairy-free option. Clean blender immediately after use to avoid residue. Experiment with protein powder brands to avoid chalky texture.
