Description
Boost your protein and nutrients with this delicious Banana Berry Smoothie! In just 5 minutes, you can make two refreshing fruit smoothies using only 7 simple ingredients and 1 blender!
Ingredients
½ cup (120 g) Lifeway Lowfat Kefir I like strawberry, blueberry, and mixed berry, but you can use any kind!
1 cup (236 g) 100% pomegranate juice
2 tablespoons (30 g) hemp hearts
3 scoops (69 g) vanilla protein powder Orgain is my favorite!
1 medium (100 g) banana
¾ cup (160 g) frozen strawberries fresh works too
¾ cup (105 g) frozen blueberries fresh works too
4 scoops (40 g) collagen peptides powder optional for extra protein
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into the blender, but wait to add the collagen powder if you’re using it.
- I recommend adding them in the following order: kefir, pomegranate juice, hemp hearts, protein powder, banana, strawberries, and blueberries.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- If using collagen powder, mix it into the smoothie on low speed until fully combined.
- Pour into two cups and enjoy!
Notes
I recommend using a scale to measure everything in grams. This way, you can simply place your blender on the scale and add everything by weight! Since there’s no precise baking chemistry required, it’s fine if the measurements aren’t exact.
Keep in mind that the protein content and other nutritional information will vary depending on the products you use, so be sure to check your product packaging for accurate details.
