Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 frozen acai packet unsweetened, 100g
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 medium banana frozen
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 3/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter optional, for creaminess

Method
 

  1. Add the milk to the blender first. This helps it blend smoothly.
  2. Break the frozen acai packet into pieces and add it to the blender.
  3. Add frozen blueberries and frozen banana.
  4. Add Greek yogurt and protein powder.
  5. Add almond butter if using.
  6. Blend on low for 10 seconds, then blend on high until thick and smooth.
  7. Stop and scrape the sides if needed.
  8. Pour into a glass and serve right away.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened acai packs. Sweetened ones can make the smoothie too sugary.
  • For a thicker texture, use less milk or add more frozen fruit.
  • This smoothie is best fresh. If stored, drink within 24 hours and shake well.
  • You can skip almond butter if you want a lighter drink.
