blueberry peanut butter protein smoothie
If you asked me to name five ingredients I always keep on hand, Wyman’s frozen wild blueberries would make the list every time. I stir them into yogurt bowls (sometimes I microwave them first if I want more of a jammy swirl); toss them into my cereal with a sprinkle of flaky salt; and, of course, add them to my morning smoothies. They’re the reason this blueberry peanut butter protein smoothie is SO PRETTY and purple!
Regular frozen blueberries will work, of course, I just find the wild ones have a more intense blueberry flavor (they’re often frozen at peak freshness).
why i add greek yogurt to my smoothies (and you should, too!)
I like a thick but pourable smoothie, and Greek yogurt has become my new favorite way to achieve this. I’ll still sometimes add a small handful of ice to help thicken it, but too much ice dilutes the flavors. A frozen banana also does the trick, but it’s not the best option if you don’t want banana flavor.
Plus, yogurt makes this blueberry peanut butter protein smoothie more satiating, so I’m not hungry 10 minutes later. My favorite is the Fage Total 2% plain yogurt, which is also what I use for my yogurt dough bagels.

blueberry peanut butter protein smoothie
serves 1
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen wild blueberries (or mixed berries). I love the Wyman's brand!
- handful of ice, if you like a thicker smoothie
- 1/2 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt (I always use Fage)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
- pinch sea salt
- 1 cup almond milk (I use Silk Protein Almondmilk or Fat Free Fairlife for extra protein)
- 1 scoop vanilla or strawberry protein powder
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients except for the protein powder to a blender; blend until smooth. Add protein powder and blend just until combined, about 3 seconds. (This helps keep the texture creamy and not too fluffy). Enjoy!
