Creating your Protein-Packed Smoothie is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the banana and berries are prepped (frozen works best).
2. Add Greens: Place the spinach or kale at the bottom of your blender first. This allows for better blending.
3. Add Fruits: Slice the banana and add it to the blender along with the mixed berries.
4. Incorporate Liquid: Pour in the almond milk, ensuring you have enough liquid to help blend everything smoothly.
5. Add Proteins: Scoop in the protein powder and add nut butter for that creamy texture and protein boost.
6. Chia Seeds: If using, sprinkle the chia seeds into the blender for an extra dose of omega-3s.
7. Optional Greek Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt if you desire a thicker, creamier consistency.
8. Blend: Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
9. Adjust Consistency: Check the texture. If it’s too thick, add more almond milk; if too thin, consider adding ice cubes and re-blending.
10. Taste Test: Taste your smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary (you can add honey, maple syrup, or stevia).
11. Serve: Pour into a glass or a mason jar. If you want, top with additional berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds!
