Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Hull the strawberries and ensure they’re fully cleaned. Rinse the raspberries under cold water and drain them well.
- In a high-speed blender, pour in the 1.5 cups of water.
- Add the 2 scoops of whey protein powder. This will ensure a smooth consistency when blended with the rest of the ingredients.
- Spoon in the 1 tablespoon of almond butter. This contributes a creamy texture and a rich nutty flavor.
- Add the cleaned and prepared strawberries into the blender.
- Pour in the cup of raspberries.
- Secure the blender lid and start blending at a low speed. Gradually increase to high speed until all ingredients are fully blended and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Once the mixture is smooth, stop the blender and add the 6 ice cubes.
- Blend again on high speed until the ice is completely crushed and the smoothie is thick and frosty. This should take an additional 30-60 seconds.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
- Optionally, garnish with a few fresh berries or a drizzle of almond butter.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious and delicious almond butter berry protein smoothie.
Tips:
- Use frozen berries to make your smoothie thicker and colder.
- Opt for a high-quality whey protein powder to ensure you're getting the best nutrients.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a teaspoon of honey or a few drops of stevia.
- Blend the water and protein powder first for a smoother consistency before adding other ingredients.
- Feel free to add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost without altering the taste significantly.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more water or some milk to achieve your desired consistency.
