Print Recipe

A creamy, refreshing smoothie that combines blueberries, coconut milk, and protein powder for a perfect post-workout energy boost. Quick and easy to make, it supports muscle recovery with balanced protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup full-fat canned or carton coconut milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder
  • ½ ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ cup ice cubes (optional)
  • ¼ cup water or coconut water

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice half a ripe banana. Measure out 1 cup of blueberries, 1 cup of coconut milk, and your protein powder. If using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw.
  2. Pour the coconut milk into the blender first to help the blades move freely. Add protein powder next, then banana, blueberries, shredded coconut, and chia seeds if using. Add honey or maple syrup now if you want a sweeter drink.
  3. Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until the mixture is uniform and creamy. If it feels too thick, add ¼ cup water or coconut water to loosen it up.
  4. Check the consistency—if you want it colder or thicker, add ice cubes and pulse a few more times. Taste for sweetness; add a touch more honey if needed and blend briefly again.
  5. Pour into your favorite glass or bottle. Garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or a few fresh blueberries and serve immediately.

Notes

Blend protein powder gradually with coconut milk first to avoid clumps. Use banana for creaminess and natural sweetness. Frozen blueberries keep the smoothie chilled and thick. Adjust thickness with water, coconut water, or ice cubes. Store in fridge up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
