Incoming! A delicious way to add protein to your day! My blueberry protein shake has almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla protein powder, and you can make it in just 5 minutes!
This blueberry protein shake is thick and refreshing. It’s satisfying and so flavorful, too! As a lover of protein shakes and smoothie freezer packs!), I love how this smoothie has minimal ingredients yet really packs a lot of nutrition into one serving. Another shake I love is my Blueberry Muffin Protein Smoothie, Fit + Slim Smoothie, Cherry Vanilla Protein Smoothie, and my Green Protein Smoothie.We’re talking 31 grams of protein in one shake!
Ingredient Notes
This blueberry protein shake has full-fat Greek yogurt, almond milk, and protein powder as its protein sources.
Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a "nutrient-dense probiotic food," which has a ton of benefits. You could swap for plant-based yogurt if you're non-dairy or even use cottage cheese instead.
Almond milk: I prefer unsweetened almond milk, but any milk of choice will work for this recipe. Try these make-ahead smoothies.
Blueberries: I love protein shakes with just about any fruit! Instead of blueberries, you can also try bananas, pineapple, strawberries, mangoes, or raspberries.
Protein powder: I prefer to use vanilla protein powder for this recipe. (For help on protein powder, check out my post Protein Powder | The Ultimate Guide For Beginners)

Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- ½ cup full fat greek yogurt
- 1 scoop vanilla protein-powder
- ¾ cup frozen blueberries
- 3-4 ice cubes as needed for thicker texture
- 1 teaspoon raw honey optional for added sweetness
Instructions
- Starting with the almond milk, place all the ingredients into a blender. Depending on your blender’s settings, first start on the chop mode to chop up the ice and frozen blueberries, followed by pureeing the mixture to create a smooth, even consistency.
- In order to get your preferred consistency, you can also start by not adding any ice, following the other steps above. Once all other ingredients are mixed together, slowly add the ice, mix and then test. Continue to add more ice cubes until the desired consistency is met.
- If too thick, you can add some more almond milk, little by little. If not sweet enough, add a little more honey.

The Blueberry Protein Shake is just what I'm looking for when I'm not sure what I want to eat. It's delicious! I like it because it doesn't contain spinach. I'm looking for other shake recipes that do not have spinach in them. Reason to due health issue, I can't consume!

Although I’ve never tried almond milk, I was wondering if I could use whole milk instead? My goal is to gain weight not to lose it and I understand that protein is the way to go. I’m also restricted to the foods I eat as a result of esophageal cancer so this protein drink is intriguing.

A bit late with a reply but whole milk would work. talk to your doctor f you can try the weight gainer shakes. GNC makes them and they will pack on pounds. Good luck with fight with cancer.
