Description
A vibrant, refreshing, and muscle-building raspberry peach protein smoothie recipe perfect for any time of day, delivering a delicious blend of fruit and protein.
Ingredients
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup frozen peaches
1 scoop (about 25-30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
Optional: 1/4 cup Greek yogurt for extra creaminess/protein
Optional: 1 tbsp chia seeds for added fiber/omega-3s
Optional: Sweetener to taste (honey, maple syrup, Medjool date)
Instructions
Step 1: Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup frozen raspberries, 1 cup frozen peaches, 1 scoop (about 25-30g) of your favorite protein powder (vanilla or unflavored works best), and 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice).
Step 2: Add the liquid to your blender first. Pour the unsweetened almond milk into the blender. This helps the blades catch the frozen ingredients more effectively.
Step 3: Next, add the frozen fruits. Carefully place the frozen raspberries and frozen peaches into the blender on top of the milk.
Step 4: Sprinkle in the protein powder. Add your scoop of protein powder over the fruit.
Step 5: Secure the lid and blend. Start on a low setting and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides, adding a tiny splash more milk if the blender struggles.
Step 6: Taste and adjust. Once smooth, give your smoothie a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a tiny bit of honey, maple syrup, or a pitted Medjool date and blend again. If it's too thick, add a bit more milk; if too thin, add a few more frozen raspberries or peaches.
Step 7: Pour and enjoy immediately. Transfer your perfectly blended raspberry peach protein smoothie into a tall glass and savor every delicious sip!
Notes
Adjust liquid for desired consistency. For a thicker smoothie, add less milk or more frozen fruit. For a thinner smoothie, add more milk. Use vegan protein powder and plant-based milk/yogurt for a vegan version. For optimal freshness, enjoy immediately.
