📖 Instructions

1. Gather Your Ingredients: Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. It's always a bummer to get halfway through a recipe and realize you're missing something!
2. Add Liquid to Blender: Pour the almond milk (or your preferred liquid) into the blender first. This helps the blender to function more efficiently.
3. Add Protein Powder: Next, add the protein powder to the blender. I typically use a vanilla flavored whey protein, but feel free to use your favorite type. Make sure you measure it out carefully—too much protein powder can make the shake taste chalky, and nobody wants that!
4. Incorporate Fruits: Add the banana and blueberries to the blender. If you're using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw them first.
5. Add Optional Ingredients: If you're using any of the optional ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or spinach, add them to the blender now.
6. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are completely smooth and well combined. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on the strength of your blender. If the shake is too thick, add a little more liquid until you reach your desired consistency.
7. Check the Taste: Take a moment to taste the shake and adjust the sweetness or flavor as needed. If it's not sweet enough, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. If you want more of a blueberry flavor, add a handful of extra blueberries.
8. Pour and Serve: Pour the blueberry bliss protein shake into a glass and serve immediately. For an extra touch, garnish with a few fresh blueberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds.
9. Enjoy! Now, sit back, relax, and savor every sip of your delicious and nutritious blueberry protein shake. It's the perfect way to start your day, refuel after a workout, or simply satisfy your sweet cravings without the guilt.
