Super Berry Smoothie Recipe
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.

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!
This was GREAT! It was my first time putting Protein Powder in my Smoothie. Delicious!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have you ever thought of adding eggs in your smoothie? I know some people are scared but I have been doing it since I was about 9 years old and never had a problem (I’m now 37). So have all my brothers and husband. You can’t taste the eggs and you still get your protein.
Usbrasil – Yes, but raw eggs rob the body of B vitamins. So I tend to avoid it.
will try this one tomorrow morning. If you don’t want to use protein powder you can try 1/4 cup of cottage cheese Blended you can’t even taste it and it really is filling. This tip was given to me by a trainer I spoke to.
Great tip!
I found your recipe on Pinterest. Thanks for posting it. It’s super yummy.
My pleasure!
I’m not sure. They belonged to my in laws. Sorry!
How woudl you make it without the protein powder? I have a child who can not have any dairy product. Thanks!
Just don’t add it. It will be fine.
I made this for breakfast today. Berry good! Thank you!
In some recipes that call for ingredients to blended in a regular blender…..
Will it work the same if I use my high powered blender?
For smoothies, most definitely!
