Tips for Making Berry Blast Protein Shake

  • Fresh or Frozen Berries: Both fresh and frozen berries work well. Just note that frozen berries may create a thicker shake.
  • Adjust Thickness: If you prefer a thinner shake, add more milk. For a thicker shake, use less milk.
  • Flavor Boost: Consider adding a scoop of spinach, chia seeds, or flaxseeds for extra nutrients without altering the flavor.

Make-Ahead Instructions

  • Prepare all the ingredients in advance and keep them in the freezer until you’re ready to blend them up.
  • You can also pre-portion the mixed ingredients into ziplock bags to make it even more convenient.

Storing Leftovers

Berry Blast Protein Shake is best enjoyed fresh; however, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick shake or stir before consuming, as separation may occur.

Freezing Berry Blast Protein Shake

  • To freeze, pour the shake into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. These berry cubes can be used in smoothies later!
  • For a convenient smoothie later, pour the shake into freezer-safe containers and blend again when ready to serve.

Reheating Berry Blast Protein Shake

  • There’s no need to reheat; this shake is best enjoyed cold.
  • To refresh, simply blend again or add a bit of milk if it thickens after refrigeration.
