Am I the only one who thinks smoothies should be called “anytime” drinks? Seriously, this Low Carb Blueberry Protein Smoothie is so good it could pass for breakfast, post-workout fuel, or even a sneaky dessert! 🫐
The best part? You get all that creamy, fruity goodness with a boost of protein, and you won’t even notice it’s packed with collagen too! It’s a super refreshing and filling drink that hits the spot, and even if you’re not a huge smoothie fan, this one might just change your mind!
How To Make A Smoothie
Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and mix until smooth and creamy. It is that easy!
Variations
Berry Blast Smoothie Bowl: Skip the cup and turn your smoothie into a bowl! Blend extra frozen blueberries, a handful of spinach, a spoonful of Greek yogurt and protein powder for a creamier texture. Serve in a bowl topped with chia seeds, shredded coconut, and a sprinkle of low-carb granola.
Coconut Blueberry Protein Shake: Swap out the water for coconut milk to give your smoothie a tropical twist. Add unsweetened shredded coconut and a squeeze of lime for extra flavour. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Chocolate Berry Protein Smoothie Recipe: Add a scoop of chocolate protein powder and a spoonful of cacao nibs for a rich, indulgent treat. Throw in a few extra ice cubes and blend until thick and creamy—dessert vibes in a glass!
Dairy-Free Almond Blueberry Smoothie: For a dairy-free version, swap whey protein for vegan protein powder, and use unsweetened almond milk or oat milk (not keto-friendly) instead of water. Add a teaspoon of almond butter or peanut butter protein and a handful of ice for a deliciously nutty and filling smoothie.
What to Serve with a Protein Smoothie
This smoothie pairs beautifully with a handful of nuts, a side of avocado toast, or even some keto-friendly granola for an extra crunch. It’s perfect for a quick breakfast on-the-go or as a light meal between workouts.
