Creamy Blueberry Banana Protein Shake
Half a cup each of frozen chopped banana and frozen blueberries blend with three-quarters cup of milk and one scoop of vanilla protein powder — about six tablespoons — into a single thick shake in under 5 minutes. The frozen fruit eliminates any need for ice, so the flavor stays concentrated rather than watered down. Banana rounds out the tartness of the blueberries and helps the shake reach a spoonable, almost soft-serve consistency. Drink immediately or the frozen fruit will begin to melt and thin the texture.
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- ½ cup frozen chopped banana
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (6 tablespoons)
Instructions
- 1Place the frozen chopped banana, frozen blueberries, milk, and vanilla protein powder into a blender.
- 2Process on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain. Adding the liquid first helps the blades catch the frozen fruit more easily.
- 3Pour the blended smoothie into a large glass.
Notes
- Swap: Use any frozen berries you have available, like raspberries or strawberries, instead of blueberries.
- Scaling: Double the ingredient quantities if you want to make two servings.
- Tip: Freeze overripe bananas in chunks so they're always ready for your morning shake.
