Start your day off right with this delicious Cherry Berry Protein Smoothie! Packed with fresh cherries and raspberries, high-quality whey protein, and the healthy fats from almonds, this smoothie not only tastes amazing but also provides a great nutritional boost to keep you energized throughout the day.
Instructions:
- Add the milk and water to the blender first. This will help the blender operate more smoothly and prevent the fruits from getting stuck at the bottom.
- Next, add the cherries and raspberries. If you prefer a cooler smoothie, you can use frozen berries.
- Add in the scoop of whey protein powder now. This ensures it blends evenly without clumping.
- Finally, add the almonds.
- Secure the lid on the blender and start on a low setting to combine all ingredients.
- Gradually increase to a higher setting and blend until the smoothie reaches a creamy and consistent texture.
- If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit more water or milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more fruits or ice cubes.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If the almonds are not fully blended and you prefer a smoother texture, blend for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass or a shaker bottle for an on-the-go protein boost.
- You can garnish with a few whole raspberries or a cherry on top for presentation if desired.
- Drink immediately to enjoy the freshness of the fruits and the full nutritional benefits.
Tips:
- For an extra creamy smoothie, try using frozen cherries and raspberries.
- Blend the almonds first to create a smoother texture before adding the other ingredients.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of water or add some ice cubes to the blender.
- You can substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative if you prefer a plant-based option.
- Feel free to add a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup if you like your smoothie sweeter.
