Description

A delicious and nutritious Raspberry Chia Protein Smoothie made with frozen raspberries, chia seeds, protein powder, and a creamy base of unsweetened almond milk and cottage cheese or yogurt. Perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout snack, this smoothie blends vibrant flavors with a smooth texture for a satisfying and healthy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Base

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Fruits

  • 1½ cups frozen raspberries
  • ½ frozen ripe banana, chunked

Protein & Seeds

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt or vegan Greek-style yogurt)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the blender: Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into your blender to create the base for the smoothie.
  2. Add frozen fruits: Add 1½ cups of frozen raspberries and ½ frozen ripe banana chunked into pieces to the blender for natural sweetness and fruity flavor.
  3. Add chia seeds and protein: Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to boost fiber and omega-3s, then add ½ cup of cottage cheese or your choice of Greek yogurt or vegan Greek-style yogurt for creaminess and protein. Finally, add 1 scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder to enhance the protein content.
  4. Blend ingredients: Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency as needed—if too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if too thin, add extra frozen raspberries or a few ice cubes.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass or a to-go cup and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes
