Quick Summary

This protein-rich smoothie balances complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and high-quality protein. It takes five minutes to blend and provides a complete, portable breakfast to keep you full until lunch.

Ingredients

2 scoops Vanilla Whey or Pea Protein
2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 large Frozen Banana
2 tbsp Almond Butter

1 tbsp Chia Seeds
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 cup Ice cubes

Method

01. Add the almond milk and Greek yogurt to your blender first to ensure a smooth vortex.
02. Layer in the protein powder, almond butter, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
03. Top with the frozen banana slices and ice.
04. Blend on high for 45 seconds until the texture is perfectly uniform.

Stewart's Secret: If you find the texture too thick, add a splash of cold water or extra almond milk in 30ml increments. For a deeper flavor, toast your chia seeds in a dry pan for 60 seconds before adding them to the blend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use plant-based protein instead of whey?

Yes, plant-based powders work beautifully. You may need a slightly higher liquid ratio as they often absorb more moisture.

Can I prep this the night before?

I recommend prepping the dry ingredients in a jar, but blend fresh. Frozen fruit and protein powder can oxidize if left in liquid overnight.

Is this suitable for post-workout recovery?

Absolutely. The balance of fast-acting carbs and muscle-repairing protein makes it an ideal recovery fuel.
