Ingredients and Substitutions

All you need to make a tasty protein shake with Greek yogurt are:

• Plain Greek Yogurt – If you prefer flavored Greek Yogurt, you will have to decrease the quantity of fruits.
• Vanilla Protein Powder – I like pea protein powder, but feel free to add the protein powder you love, including whey, soy, or hemp protein powder.
• Frozen Raspberries – Raspberries contain less sugar and calories than other berries. Therefore it’s an excellent choice for a healthy protein shake. However, feel free to use other frozen fruits you love, including frozen bananas, strawberries, or frozen mango.
• Ice Cubes
• Skim Milk or almond milk, and some non-dairy milk like soy milk are also high in protein.
• Chia Seeds or ground flaxseeds to add fiber and healthy fats.
• Almond Butter adds a nice flavor, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. If you prefer, use peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.

Depending on your liking you may like to add some of the ingredients below for a boost of flavor.

• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• Pinch of cinnamon
• One tablespoon of honey or sugar-free sweetener you love.

How To Make Greek Yogurt Protein Shake

Like many other shakes and smoothies, this recipes is very easy to make!

1. In a high-speed blender add all the ingredients, starting with the minimum amount of ice cubes. Blend until smooth.
2. Taste and add some sweetener to boost the sweetness. I like mine without added sugars. The fruits and protein powder make the Greek yogurt protein shake sweet enough.
3. For a frothier, creamy texture, blend in some more ice or frozen fruits. If the shake is too thick, add more liquid.

Serving Suggestions

This Greek yogurt protein smoothie is great on its own or with some toppings like:

• A drizzle of nut butter
