Ingredients for this Blueberry Protein smoothie recipe

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this blueberry smoothie with a protein boost. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page for the detailed ingredient measurements. 

  • Fair-Life Strawberry Protein Shakes: This is what I used. I prefer the Fair-Life pre-made shakes because it gives the best texture in my opinion rather than whey protein powder. They also come in chocolate or vanilla flavors so you could make a blueberry vanilla protein shake if you aren’t feeling the double berry flavor.
  • Blueberries: You could use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries. Whatever is more convenient for you and whether or not you want any icy smoothie or not.
  • Bananas: Similar to the blueberries, fresh or frozen banana both work. In summer you may want to use frozen fruit so it can be refreshing but in winter that may not sound appealing.
  • Chia Seeds: This is optional but I really like the texture and healthy fats and benefits that it adds. You could substitute this for flax seeds or hemp seeds if you’d like.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ

โ€‹Can I use protein powder instead of Fair-Life?

Absolutely, feel free to use whatever favorite protein powder for this recipe. If you are using a scoop of protein powder, I recommend adding 8-12 ounces of milk or even water with it. The best flavors would be strawberry or vanilla protein powder.

What milk should I use if using protein powder?

You could use fat-free, 2%, or whole milk. You could use a plant-based milk like coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk, or unsweetened almond milk. It’s really up to you and any milk of choice will work.

What other mix-ins can I add?

  • Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are great for an extra creamy texture and additional protein.
  • For a nutty flavor, peanut butter or almond butter are tasty and will also add extra protein.
  • Add some oats and maybe a little honey to make your smoothie taste like a blueberry muffin protein shake.
  • Toss in a handful of greens like spinach for a boost in vitamins and fiber. For a weirdly good flavor with greens, mint or basil actually pair really well with blueberry. So if you have any, just add in a leaf or two of basil, or a sprig or two of mint, and see what happens to the flavor ๐Ÿ˜‰ 
  • Add other fruits like apples, pears, grapes, or other berries.

โ€‹To store, put your leftovers into a mason jar or any cup that has a tightly sealed lid. Place it in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy it again; it should last for 3-4 days. Natural separation will occur, so give it a shake or stir when you want to have it again.
