Protein Blueberry Smoothie
This smoothie is thick, fruity and naturally sweet, with a creamy finish from the Greek yoghurt and a subtle richness from the peanut butter. Using frozen blueberries gives it that cold, milkshake-style texture that feels more indulgent than it is, while still staying high protein.
It is a lighter, macro-friendly take on a classic blueberry smoothie because fat free Greek yoghurt boosts the protein without adding lots of extra fat, and unsweetened almond milk keeps things creamy but low calorie. A small amount of peanut butter adds flavour and helps round out the texture without making it heavy.
It is a single-serve recipe that works well for busy mornings, quick refuels, or an easy snack. Each serving has 23g protein and 359 calories, which makes it a satisfying option that supports fullness and steady energy.

How to Make Protein Blueberry Smoothie
See recipe card for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Start by pouring the almond milk into the blender first, this helps the blades catch quickly and prevents sticking. Add the Greek yoghurt next, followed by the banana, frozen blueberries, peanut butter and vanilla.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If the blender struggles, stop and scrape down the sides, then blend again until the texture looks thick and uniform.
Pour into a glass and serve straight away for the best texture. For a thicker result, reduce the almond milk slightly, for a thinner result, add a splash more and blend again.
Tips
- Use frozen blueberries: This keeps the smoothie thick and cold without needing ice.
- Boost the protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an even higher protein count.
- Choose a ripe banana: A riper banana brings more sweetness so the smoothie tastes better without added sweeteners.
Recipe Variations & Substitutions
- Protein Powder: Add one scoop of your favourite protein powder to increase the protein content.
- Replace peanut butter: with almond butter, or omit it for a lighter flavour.
- Vegetable variation: Add a handful of spinach for extra fibre and micronutrients without changing the taste much.
Storage
This smoothie is best enjoyed straight away. If needed, store in the fridge for up to 24 hours, shake or blend again before drinking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, swap the banana for extra yoghurt plus a small handful of ice, or use a little sweetener if needed.
Yes you can, but it’s best enjoyed fresh. If you make it ahead, store it in the fridge overnight and shake or stir well before drinking.
This usually means there is too much frozen fruit or yoghurt. Blending in a little extra milk will loosen the texture.
