A quick, healthy, and tasty berry protein smoothie made with Greek yogurt and flaxseed, perfect for weight loss and a nutritious boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150 g) frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1 cup (245 g) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or 2%
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 34 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 cup (150 g) of frozen mixed berries. If using fresh berries, add an extra ice cube or two to keep the smoothie cold.
  2. Scoop 1 cup (245 g) of plain Greek yogurt and gather 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal.
  3. Pour the Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup (120 ml) of unsweetened almond milk into your blender. Blend on medium speed for about 20-30 seconds until the mixture is silky smooth.
  4. Add the frozen berries and flaxseed meal. Add 3-4 ice cubes if needed for thickness. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pulse blend for 10-15 seconds just to mix everything together without over-blending.
  6. Check consistency. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend briefly. If too thin, add more frozen berries or ice and pulse again.
  7. Pour into a glass or tumbler and serve immediately.

Notes

Use frozen berries for a thick and cold smoothie; if using fresh berries, add extra ice cubes. Blend yogurt and milk first for a silky texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. Freshly ground flaxseed is best for nutrition and flavor. Store smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
