Low-Cal Protein Smoothie for Fat Loss (No Banana) - Simple, Filling, and Delicious
Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey or plant protein (20–25 g protein per scoop)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or cashew milk)
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for fiber and thickness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Ice cubes (4–6, adjust for thickness)
- Sweetener to taste: stevia, monk fruit, or a small drizzle of honey if needed
- Pinch of cinnamon or a squeeze of lemon (optional flavor boost)
Instructions
- Add almond milk, Greek yogurt, and protein powder to the blender first. This helps the powder blend smoothly.
- Add frozen berries, chia seeds, vanilla, and a handful of ice.
- Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if too thin, add a few more ice cubes.
- Taste and adjust sweetness. Use a zero-calorie sweetener for the lowest calories, or a small amount of honey if preferred.
- Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately.
