Low-Calorie Protein Shake
Servings: 1
This low-calorie protein shake has 37 grams of protein and blends frozen blueberries, banana, plain Greek yogurt and whey isolate into something that tastes like a berry milkshake. A little frozen cauliflower makes it thick and creamy without adding sweetness.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ½ banana
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup blueberries frozen
- ¼ cup cauliflower florets frozen
- 1 serving whey protein isolate
Instructions
- Add water, banana, Greek yogurt, blueberries and cauliflower to blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth.
- Stop and add in protein powder and blend on low to gently mix in.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy.
Notes
- Swap the berries: Try strawberries, raspberries, or mixed berries for a slightly different flavor while still keeping it fresh and fruity.
- Change up the yogurt: Greek yogurt works great, but you can also use regular yogurt or a dairy-free coconut or almond yogurt.
- Boost it with healthy fats: Add a spoonful of any nut butter or chia seeds if you want it a bit more filling and satisfying.
- Sneak in greens: A handful of leafy green vegetables blends in just like the cauliflower and gives you an extra nutrient boost without changing the taste much at all.
- Make ahead: You can make frozen meal prep smoothie packs ahead of time with banana, blueberries, and cauliflower so all you have to do is dump and blend.
- Storage: This shake is best fresh, but it can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed jar or bottle. Just shake well before drinking as it may separate.
