Meal Replacement Smoothie
Servings: 1
This meal replacement smoothie blends sweet-tart blueberries, creamy banana, and rich almond butter into one thick, satisfying sip — with kale hiding quietly behind all that berry flavor. Hearty oats give it a milkshake-like body that actually keeps you full. Just 5 minutes from blender to breakfast, lunch, or wherever your day needs rescuing.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup kale
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 cup blueberries frozen
- ½ banana
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 2 tablespoon rolled oats
- 1 serving protein powder
Instructions
- Blend kale and almond milk until smooth in a high speed blender.
- Add fruit, almond butter and oats. Blend until smooth.
- Add protein powder and blend on low. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Hungry an hour later? That's your cue to boost next time: add a scoop of homemade protein powder (16g protein) or an extra tablespoon of almond butter. Sluggish or too full? Ease back on the oats.
- Use frozen blueberries (or a frozen banana) for a thick, cold smoothie without ice — ice just waters down the flavor.
- Prep it as a freezer pack: portion the kale, blueberries, banana, and oats into a freezer bag ahead of time. Add almond milk and almond butter when you blend — a real meal in 5 minutes, even on your busiest morning.
