3tablespooncoconut vanilla yogurt (or other yogurt of choice)see notes
½-¾cup unsweetened oat milk (or any milk of choice)
2tablespoonprotein powder of choice (I use unflavored collagen protein)(optional)
Instructions
This recipe makes 1 smoothie. If making for two, double the recipe. Add all ingredients into a blender, then blend until smooth. Depending on your blender, you may need to chop the banana into a few pieces. Add more milk if the smoothie seems too thick.
Top with chia seeds, a couple blackberries or a strawberry, and a banana slice if desired and enjoy!
Notes
BANANA: If you don't have a frozen banana, you can use a fresh one. Frozen bananas make the smoothie a bit creamier and cold.STRAWBERRIES: Frozen is best but fresh works too!BLACKBERRIES: Frozen is best but fresh will work fine. You can also replace the blackberries with frozen blueberries or raspberries if desired!YOGURT: You can use any kind of yogurt in this smoothie. I like to use vegan coconut yogurt but you can also use soy yogurt, greek yogurt, plain yogurt, or even flavored yogurt. If you don't have yogurt you can replace this with milk, but the smoothie will be a bit less creamy.Optional Add Ins:
½ Tablespoon of hemp seeds and/or chia seeds
1 Tablespoon almond butter, peanut butter, or nut butter of choice
If you want your smoothie to be sweeter, add in maple syrup. Sweetness will vary depending whether you use sweetened or unsweetened milk and yogurt. You can always taste the smoothie first, then add maple syrup if needed and give it another quick blend.
Make Ahead Instructions: If you want to prep the smoothie ahead of time, you can add the banana, strawberries, blackberries, and seeds to an airtight container and freeze. When making the smoothie, pour the ingredients into the blender then add milk, protein, yogurt, and maple syrup if using.Doubling Instructions: If making this smoothie for two, simply double all ingredients.
