A vibrant, creamy, berry-packed protein smoothie bowl under 400 calories, perfect for a light yet filling summer breakfast or post-workout meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred plant-based milk)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh berries for topping (a handful)
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds or chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  • A sprinkle of granola (low-sugar variety or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 cup of mixed berries (if frozen, no need to thaw), 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, and 1 scoop of protein powder.
  2. In your blender, combine berries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and chia seeds. Blend on high for about 45 seconds or until smooth.
  3. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of almond milk (about 1 tablespoon at a time) and blend again until creamy but spoonable.
  4. Taste your smoothie bowl base. If you want it sweeter, add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and pulse to combine.
  5. Transfer the smoothie mixture into your serving bowl. It should be thick enough to hold toppings without sinking.
  6. Arrange fresh berries, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, and granola on top, balancing texture and flavor.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.

Notes

Soak chia seeds for 5 minutes before blending to avoid gritty texture. Use frozen berries to keep the bowl chilled and thick. Add toppings just before serving to prevent sogginess. Toast nuts lightly for extra flavor if desired. Adjust liquid amount gradually to achieve desired consistency.
