One of the easiest ways to pump up protein at breakfast is with our fruity protein smoothie, which contains a meal’s worth of protein. Change it up as you like. Add a tablespoon of nut butter or a tablespoon or two of ground flax or hemp seeds for an extra boost of protein and fiber.

Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (3/4 cup) plain Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese or milk
  • 1/2 ripe banana, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup frozen berries, your choice
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
  • Ice as needed, for thickness

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients in the order listed to a blender and blend until smooth.
