Here is a simple high protein mixed berries smoothie recipe that you can make for breakfast. This smoothie has only 5 ingredients, extra creamy and great as a meal replacement shake for those on a smoothie diet.
I love having smoothies for breakfast, I make a fresh batch every morning so I’m always on the hunt for new smoothie recipes. Lately, I started working out and wanted something that would increase my energy levels and keep me full during my workout session.
That’s when I found this recipe on Pinterest, however, the original recipe didn’t contain rolled oats, it had bananas and I think avocado which I tried and didn’t like to I altered it and came up with this which it totally delish!
Benefits of This High Protein Berries Smoothie
Mixed Berries – are packed with antioxidants which help reduce oxidative stress and strengthen the immune system. They are also high in natural sugars which you need to regulate blood sugar levels.
Protein Powder – is great for helping you gain and maintain muscles especially if you work out. It also keeps you feeling full longer during the day and prevent overeating. Adding protein powder to your smoothies will also improve your bone health.
Greek Yogurt – adds extra creaminess and protein to your smoothies along with calcium, and protein making it perfect for bone health and muscle gain.
Almond Milk – You can use any type of milk you choose in your smoothies but I use almond milk because it’s dairy and lactose free. It’s also a good source of vitamin E & D.
Rolled Oats – are high in B vitamins, iron, and folate. They also add base to your smoothies and keep you feeling full longer.

You can store this smoothie for up to 6 hours in the fridge but make sure to store it in a container with a tight lid. Give it a shake before drinking. With that being said, I always recommend drinking your smoothies while they are still fresh.
Tip: Using frozen berries will make this smoothie extra thick and creamy so you will need to add a few extra tablespoons of milk.
