This berry protein smoothie is the five minute answer to a sweet craving on a calorie deficit. Frozen berries, Greek yogurt, and vanilla protein powder blend into something thick enough to eat with a spoon.
Each glass delivers about 310 calories and 30 grams of protein, which makes it perfect after a workout or as a substantial snack between meals. Frozen fruit means no ice and no watery results.

Tips

- ✓Use any flavor of protein powder; chocolate pairs well with frozen cherries.
- ✓Prep freezer packs with berries, yogurt, and chia so mornings are a pour and blend job.
