Even during cold weather, protein shakes like this mixed berry protein smoothie are a great—not to mention delicious—way to start your day. I mean, if I had my choice, I’d start my winter days with biscuits and gravy and a side of bacon every morning, but I feel like that wouldn’t pair well with all the other holiday foods I’m indulging in.
Good thing I have a ton of yummy protein smoothies and protein shakes on my blog. My favorites include this pineapple peach green smoothie, low-carb chocolate peanut butter smoothie, and this pineapple coconut protein smoothie.
While I normally prefer peach or coconut—or let’s be honest, chocolate—in my protein smoothies, I do enjoy a healthy serving of frozen berries like the one in this antioxidant-packed tropical berry smoothie.
Fortunately this mixed Berry Protein Smoothie has a healthy serving of frozen berries along with Greek yogurt, steel-cut oats, Purely Inspired organic protein, and a bit of honey and vanilla to sweeten the deal.
You’re basically giving your body the gift of quality protein and all kinds of good-for-your ingredients but it’s totally disguised with delicious flavor. Best. Disguise. Ever.
Speaking of gifting, if you don’t have a seriously good blender for making your protein shakes or smoothies, treat yourself to one. I love my Blendtec Designer Series Blender but it’s quite the investment. I’d go for this Ninja blender; the price is better and the reviews are great!
The recipe for this mixed berry protein smoothie calls for frozen mixed berries but you could totally mix it up by using a single berry like strawberry, raspberry or blueberry. Sometimes it’s all about using whatever you have on hand in the freezer.
