Triple Berry Chia Protein Smoothie – Project Meal Plan

My relationship with smoothies began long ago. I’ve come pretty far since the classic bananas, ice, and milk smoothie. My ingredient index and smoothie making equipment have upgraded in the best ways (team Nutribullet!). I’ve tried a ton of smoothies – some jaw-droppingly delicious, and some that we just don’t need to talk about.

Peanut Butter Banana Berry Protein Smoothie – Project Meal Plan

These two smoothie variations may look obviously similar, but the main difference is texture. Chia seeds add a palpable mild nutty flavor. Swap out the seeds for two tablespoons of your favorite peanut butter, and you’ve got a creamy berry protein packed delight. We add one scoop of our favorite vanilla protein powder for a little sweetness (and protein, of course). Feel free to add some honey or maple syrup if your protein is unsweetened.

If I’m going to write about smoothies, then I can’t help but mention the NutriBullet Magic Bullet. We’ve used this thing for countless smoothies. Space saver? Check. Actually blends all your ingredients with no clumps? Check. Easy clean up? CHECK. You seriously need to get your hands on one of these ASAP.

[note from Sean: I ate smoothies once a day for about 6 months straight because it was so easy to make them in the NutriBullet!]

Smoothies are a great way for us to get our protein and fruit servings. AND I love sneaking in a cup of spinach (or kale!) because you can’t tell one bit. Have I mentioned I like to disguise my veggies?

Oh, and meal prepping smoothies is a total breeze. Portion out your fruits ahead of time in a ziploc, then pull them out of the freezer and dump the bag when it’s meal time. It’s almost too easy.

Notes

As long as a majority of your fruit is frozen, no need to add ice. Some people freeze bananas and add fresh fruit instead. Personalize your smoothie! Sub any kind of milk for the water if desired. Note: Nutrition information order – Triple Berry Chia Smoothie/PB Banana Berry Smoothie
