Blueberry and Greek Yogurt Smoothie

Blueberry and Greek yogurt smoothie—a quick, protein-rich pre-workout sip for gym energy.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup milk (any type)
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

Gather Your Smoothie Squad: Hey there, let’s whip up something amazing! Grab your blueberries, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, and chia seeds if you’re using them. Set out a blender, a measuring cup, a spoon, and a tall glass—everything you need to make this pre-workout magic happen!
Rinse the Blueberries (If Fresh): If you’re using fresh blueberries, take your 1 cup and pour them into a small colander. Rinse them under cool running water, giving them a gentle shake to wash off any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel—clean berries mean a pure, delicious smoothie.
Measure the Greek Yogurt: Open your tub of plain Greek yogurt and scoop out ½ cup with a spoon—make sure it’s level for the perfect creamy balance. Plop it right into the blender jar, letting it settle at the bottom. That thick, tangy goodness is about to bring the protein party!
Add the Blueberries: Toss your 1 cup of blueberries (fresh or frozen) into the blender on top of the yogurt. If they’re frozen, they’ll make it extra thick and cold—no ice needed! Watch those vibrant purple beauties pile up—they’re the star of this energy-boosting show.
Pour in the Milk: Grab your milk of choice—dairy, almond, whatever you love—and measure out ½ cup in a measuring cup. Slowly pour it into the blender, letting it splash over the blueberries and yogurt. This is what’s going to make it sip-able and smooth—adjust later if you want it thinner!
Drizzle the Honey: Take your teaspoon and dip it into your honey jar—scoop out 1 teaspoon of that golden sweetness. Drizzle it into the blender, letting it trickle over the other ingredients. It’s just enough to enhance the berries without overpowering the natural flavors—sweet perfection!
Sprinkle in Chia Seeds (Optional): If you’re adding chia seeds, measure out 1 teaspoon and sprinkle them into the mix. These tiny powerhouses will blend right in, adding a subtle texture and a boost of fiber and healthy fats—great for keeping you fueled longer. Skip if you’re keeping it simple!
Blend It Silky Smooth: Pop the lid on your blender and make sure it’s secure—no smoothie explosions here! Start on a low speed to get things moving, then crank it up to high. Blend for 30-60 seconds, watching it turn into a gorgeous purple swirl—stop when it’s creamy and no chunks remain.
Check and Adjust: Take off the lid and give it a quick peek—is it too thick? Add a splash more milk (1-2 tablespoons) and blend again for 10 seconds. Taste a tiny sip with a spoon—adjust honey or milk to your liking. You’re the boss of this smoothie, so make it perfect for you!
Pour and Sip with Joy: Grab your tall glass and pour the smoothie in—watch it flow out, all smooth and vibrant. Give the blender a little tap to get every last drop. Take a big sip through a straw or straight from the glass—savor the creamy, fruity goodness as it powers you up for weight training!

Notes

Drink 30-60 minutes before lifting for optimal energy and digestion.
Reduce milk for a thicker shake or skip honey for fewer carbs.
Dairy-free? Use plant-based yogurt and milk—still delicious and gym-ready.

Ingredients Notes

Blueberries: Fresh or frozen, these little gems are bursting with antioxidants and quick-digesting carbs—perfect for an energy boost.
Greek Yogurt: Opt for plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt—thick, creamy, and loaded with protein to fuel muscle repair and growth.
Milk: Use any milk you love (dairy, almond, oat)—it thins the smoothie and adds a touch of creaminess.
Honey: A small drizzle of raw honey adds natural sweetness—great for a subtle carb kick without overdoing it.
Optional Chia Seeds: A teaspoon boosts fiber and omega-3s—tiny but mighty for extra endurance.

Variations and Substitutions

Swap blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or mixed berries for a different flavor—each brings its own nutrient perks.
Replace Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt (like coconut or soy) for a dairy-free twist—keep it protein-rich!
Sub milk with water or coconut water for a lighter sip—coconut water adds electrolytes too.
Skip honey and use a ripe banana or a few dates for natural sweetness and extra carbs.
Add spinach, protein powder, or a tablespoon of almond butter for a nutrient or protein boost—customize away!

Storage Options

Store the smoothie in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours—give it a good shake before drinking as it may separate. For longer prep, freeze the blueberries and yogurt in a blender-ready portion (minus the milk) for up to a month—blend fresh when ready. Avoid leaving it out too long—fresh is best!
