Super Berry Smoothie Recipe
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Smoothies are a perfect way to start off a busy morning, and this super berry smoothie is no exception.
Breakfast will be ready in about 2 seconds flat (well, okay… maybe 5 minutes) and you’re out the door with a travel mug full of nutrients. Can’t beat that with a stick!
Lately, I’ve been revisiting the idea of using protein powders in smoothies for the simple reason of convenience. Sometimes I don’t have time to peel that hard-boiled egg before I head out the door. I know that sounds crazy, but I think we’ve all been there. Those days when you swear on somebody’s grave that just breathing one breath in the wrong direction will make you later than you’ve ever been. You know what I’m talking about, right? I seem to be having more and more of those days lately, so I’ve started relying more and more on protein powder again.
Not that there is anything wrong with it per se, but let’s face it. Protein doesn’t come from nature in powder form. So I really struggle with this one. What are your thoughts on protein powder?
About The Ingredients
Frozen blueberries – No sugar added.
Frozen strawberries – No sugar added.
Chia seeds – Flaxseed will work too if you grind it first.
Pure vanilla extract – Don’t use vanilla flavoring.
Unsweetened almond milk – Regular milk works too.
Protein powder – Use a protein powder that has the fewest ingredients possible. Unsweetened and unflavored is best.
How To Make A Super Berry Smoothie
Place all ingredients into a blender. Blend and serve.
Storage
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Give it a spin in the blender again to refresh it.
Freezing
If you have leftovers you won’t use right away, it’s best to pour this into popsicle molds and enjoy them for dessert.

Sounds delish! Thanks!
Michael – Hope you enjoy it!
jlp – sounds wonderful!
Kim – that’s a great source of protein!
Melissa – In my experience, whey powder is the best for flavor and texture. I get mine at whole foods. If you can find 100% pure whey powder, that’s the one to go with. My Whole Foods stopped carrying it so now I get their brand in the package.
Cbmg – I found one that is pretty decent. It’s the Whole Foods brand.
Katherine – Agreed!
Chrys – Interesting! I would imagine the oats would expand a bit in your tummy as liquid is absorbed which would also help fill you up.
Cec – Look for 100% pure whey powder. I had to settle with a different kind in a package that is the Whole Foods inshore brand because they stopped carrying the one I used to use. I was sad about that, but settled for the next best thing.
Cec – Sounds good! I think the dry oats would fill you up a lot since they would absorb liquids and expand in your tummy. Great way to fill up!
Hetty – I hope he enjoys it!
Cass – Sounds good!
I always put ground up quick oats in mine, excellent way to add more protein and fiber. It doesn’t change the taste just the texture a bit.
Jenny – Sounds good!
Erin – I just have to say that this is one of this things were you sit back and say, “well duh! why didn’t I think of that????”
Thanks for the link!
OF – Yes, I’m just now starting to install the pin button on my posts. Thanks!
Kristin – You can’t beat the benefits of chia. I highly recommend it! The bag may be a bit on the pricy side, but it lasts a while because you are only using 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time. So go for it!
I love Manitoba Harvest. They have excellent hemp powder. But like you, I got that grass clipping flavor that I just didn’t want to add to this recipe. I guess you pick your battles where this stuff is concerned.
Shelley – Let me know how you like it!
e4hand – That’s why I love smoothies. I love that they take away most of my cravings. Glad you enjoyed it!
Steph – Thanks!
I just toss them in. I never soak them first.
I’ve checked out a ton of protein powders, and Smoothie King’s Gladiator protein seems to be the most nutritious/tastiest out there. It’s great…vanilla or chocolate…maybe strawberry too? No sugar or carbs and 45 g of protein. If you’re forced to supplement, it’s worth a try.
Thanks for your yummy recipe!
Hmm! I’ve never heard of that brand. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
where do u find chia seeds?
Jennie – Many health food stores carry them or you can order from Amazon.com
Janet – Sounds good!
I can’t wait to try the berry smoothie the color is so beautiful!
In England eggs found at the store are much more fresh then those in American supermarkets. If you want a boiled egg that doesn’t stick to the shell you have to keep the eggs in your fridge for about a week before you boil them. If they are eggs purchased straight from a farmer I recomend 2 weeks.
Interesting! Thanks!
