Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Base

  • 16 ounces of filtered water

Protein and Flavor

  • 1 serving high-quality vanilla protein powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruits and Nut Butter

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 2 heaping tablespoons almond butter

Fiber and Thickening Agents

  • 1 teaspoon ground flax seeds
  • 2 teaspoons psyllium husk powder (optional)

Others

  • Big handful of ice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including filtered water, vanilla protein powder, frozen banana, almond butter, vanilla extract, ground flax seeds, psyllium husk powder (if using), and ice.
  2. Add to Blender: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender starting with water, followed by protein powder, banana, almond butter, vanilla extract, flax seeds, psyllium husk powder, and ice.
  3. Blend Smooth: Blend on low speed initially, gradually increasing to high speed for about 60 seconds until the smoothie reaches a creamy and smooth consistency without lumps.
  4. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy fresh for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Using frozen banana not only enhances the flavor but also gives the smoothie a creamy texture without needing additional ice.
  • Psyllium husk powder is optional but adds extra fiber and helps thicken the smoothie.
  • You can adjust the thickness by adding more or less water or ice as desired.
  • Use a high-quality vanilla protein powder for the best flavor and nutrition.
  • Drink the smoothie immediately to enjoy optimal taste and texture, as psyllium husk can thicken the blend if left to sit.
