Notes
- Type of milk: I used unsweetened soy for extra protein, but almond, oat, or regular whole milk work too.
- Protein powder: I recommend unsweetened, preferably vanilla. I used a vegan vanilla blend.
- Taste: The flavor of this smoothie really depends on the protein powder and yogurt you use. A sweetened vanilla soy yogurt will taste very different from plain Greek yogurt, and protein powders vary a lot too. Vegan blends especially can have a strong flavor that comes through in the smoothie.
- Protein amount: This is an estimated value and will vary depending on the milk, yogurt, and protein powder you use. For example, soy milk pack in more protein than almond milk.
- Can I use fresh berries? Not ideal- frozen berries are what give this smoothie its creamy texture. You could use fresh berries if you swap in a frozen banana instead. I don’t recommend adding ice though, as it tends to water down the flavor.
