Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt full-fat or low-fat, your preference
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or soy
  • 1 scoop protein powder vanilla or unflavored recommended for versatility
  • 1/2 cup frozen berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey, maple syrup, or a few drops of stevia optional, to taste
  • ice cubes optional, for a thicker, colder shake

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Ensure you have all the listed ingredients ready and measured out. This makes the blending process smooth and efficient.
  2. Pour the 1/2 cup of milk into your blender. Adding liquids first helps the blades move more freely and prevents ingredients from sticking to the bottom.

  3. Spoon the 1 cup of Greek yogurt into the blender. Its thick, creamy nature is the foundation of this shake, providing a protein-rich base.

  4. Add your chosen scoop of protein powder. If you're using unflavored, it won't interfere with the berry and yogurt flavors. Vanilla will add a pleasant sweetness.

  5. Toss in the 1/2 cup of frozen berries and the 1 tablespoon of chia or flax seeds. The frozen berries will chill the shake and contribute to its thick consistency, while the seeds add healthy fats and fiber.

  6. If you prefer a sweeter shake or a richer texture, add the 1/2 ripe banana and your chosen sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia) now.
    1 teaspoon honey, maple syrup, or a few drops of stevia
  7. If you desire an extra-thick and colder shake, add a handful of ice cubes.

  8. Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the shake is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides once or twice.
  9. Give your shake a quick taste. If it's not sweet enough, add a little more sweetener. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk. Blend again briefly to incorporate any adjustments.
  10. Pour your Greek Yogurt Protein Shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Thicken may occur, adding a splash of milk can fix this. Can also be frozen for 1-2 months.
