Ingredients

1 large frozen banana
½ cup frozen blueberries
⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or 0%
¼ cup milk, almond, oat, cashew, or regular
1 scoop plain or vanilla protein powder
1 - 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter, optional for flavor and to keep you full (I love peanut butter!)
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Optional Topping: Sprinkle of granola or cereal, drizzle of peanut butter, chocolate chips, and/or cacao nibs

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy. For a thinner smoothie, add more almond milk. For a thicker smoothie, add a bit more frozen blueberries or a few ice cubes.
Pour into a glass and top with granola or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Make it Vegan: Use dairy-free yogurt + plant milk + pea protein powder.

Fresh Banana: You can certainly use a fresh banana in this recipe. If you do, I recommend using frozen blueberries so the smoothie is thick. You can also try adding 1 – 5 ice cubes if needed.

Freezing: You can freeze smoothies for up to 3 months. The best way to freeze them is in large ice trays and then in freezer-safe bags as “cubes.” When you are ready to enjoy, simply add to a glass and let thaw in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. You can also blend the smoothie ice cubes for a quick thaw. Do not freeze a smoothie in a glass container because it will break from the cold temperature in the freezer.
