Notes
- Milk: Use regular cow's milk or your favorite non-dairy milk such as almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk. From skim to whole, any fat level will do.
- Blueberries: To substitute fresh blueberries, add ½ c. ice or more to the blender.
- Protein powder: Use either your favorite vanilla protein powder or ½ c. Greek yogurt.
- Maple syrup: Taste the smoothie before adding any sweeteners, then start with a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey. If you use a vanilla-flavored protein powder, you probably won’t need anything.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 2 c. of smoothie, enough for 1 serving.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Some separation may occur, so shake or stir to combine before enjoying.
