Notes
- Use frozen blueberries to give the smoothie a chilled, thick texture without needing ice.
- Substitute almond or oat milk for skim milk to make it dairy-free, if preferred.
- Adding flax seeds boosts fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, but can be omitted if not desired.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a touch of honey or maple syrup if your protein powder is not sweetened.
