The Berry Vanilla Protein Smoothie I Make on Repeat

July 13, 2026•1 min read

Hey friend,

Some mornings you just don't have it in you to cook, and that's exactly when this smoothie saves me. It takes about five minutes, it's creamy and a little sweet, and it actually holds me over instead of leaving me hungry by mid-morning. The secret is the protein, 22 grams of it, so it works as a real breakfast, not just a snack.

Why I love it: it tastes like a treat, but it's real food doing real work.

Berry Vanilla Protein Smoothie

Serves 1

Per serving (estimate): 247 calories, 22g protein, 7g fat, 27g carbs

Ingredients:

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

  • 1/2 cup blueberries

  • 1/2 cup strawberries

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional, brightens the flavor)

  • Pinch of pink Himalayan salt

  • 1 cup ice

Directions: Add everything to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away, while it's cold and fresh.

This one lives in my cookbook, The Forever Reset, right alongside more than a hundred other everyday recipes.

Enjoy, friend. You've got this.

Love you big,

Jen

Hey friend, I'm Jen. When midlife hit, I lost my energy, my spark, and somewhere along the way I stopped feeling like myself. I did the work naturally, came back to myself, and in 2026 I earned my credential as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner so I could help other women do the same. These days my favorite title is Gigi, and I write from my kitchen in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
