Power-Packed Vegan Berry Protein Shake

Ingredients

• 1 scoop (approx. 25-30g) plant-based protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or soy, oat milk)
• 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1/2 banana (fresh or frozen, for creaminess and sweetness)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds or flax seeds (for omega-3s and fiber)
• Handful of spinach (optional, for added nutrients without affecting taste)
• Ice cubes (optional, for a colder, thicker shake)

Instructions

1. 1

   1. Gather Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients are ready and measured. If using frozen berries or banana, no need for extra ice. If using fresh, a few ice cubes will make the shake colder and thicker.

2. 2

   2. Add to Blender: Pour the unsweetened almond milk into your blender. Add the plant-based protein powder, mixed berries, banana (fresh or frozen), chia seeds (or flax seeds), and spinach (if using).

3. 3

   3. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds, or until the shake is completely smooth and creamy. If you prefer a colder or thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes and blend again.

   4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the protein shake and adjust for sweetness if desired. You can add a little maple syrup or a date if you prefer it sweeter, or a bit more liquid if it's too thick. For extra flavor, a dash of vanilla extract can be added.
