This simple smoothie utilizes low carb vanilla protein powder and tastes similar to a blueberry muffin. This is an easy fruity treat to pair with some sausage and eggs for a nutritious breakfast!
Optional: Add chia seeds or flaxseed for an extra boost of protein, fiber, and healthy fat!
Optional 2: Substitute the blueberries with strawberries or mixed berries to switch up the flavor

Method
Add all ingredients to blender. Add the milk first to make blending easier.
Blend until fully combined and smooth. If contents of blender get stuck, turn off blender and stir with spoon before continuing. If you added chia seeds and find the mixture is too thick, add an extra 1-2 tbsp (15-30mL) of milk).
