Creamy Berry-Nut Butter Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2

Ingredients

To achieve that smooth, velvety texture seen in the image, gather the following:

  • 1 ½ cups Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • 2 tablespoons Creamy almond or peanut butter

  • 1 cup Frozen mixed berries (strawberries and blueberries work best)

  • 1 large Ripe banana (frozen for extra thickness)

  • 1 scoop Protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)

  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

  • Garnish: Fresh strawberry slices, blueberries, and mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Layer the Liquid: Pour the milk into the blender first. Adding liquid at the bottom helps the blades move freely and prevents the thicker ingredients from getting stuck.

  2. Add the Base: Add the frozen banana, berries, and nut butter. The frozen fruit acts as the “ice,” providing a chilled, thick consistency without watering down the flavor.

  3. Boost the Flavor: Add the protein powder and cinnamon. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a small drizzle of honey or a single pitted date.

  4. Blend: Start on a low speed to break up the frozen fruit, then gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely uniform and silky.

  5. Serve: Pour into tall glasses. For that professional aesthetic, top with a fresh strawberry slice and a sprig of mint.

Pro Tip

If the smoothie is too thick, add an extra splash of milk. If you prefer it like a smoothie bowl, add a handful of ice cubes or decrease the milk by ¼ cup. Enjoy immediately while chilled!
