Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 0.5 cup frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Pour the almond milk and Greek yogurt into the bottom of the blender. Note: Liquid at the bottom prevents the blades from spinning in an air pocket.
  2. Add the chia seeds and vanilla protein powder directly into the liquid. Note: This hydrates the powder immediately so you don't get those annoying dry clumps.
  3. Measure out the frozen mixed berries and layer them on top of the liquid base.
  4. Add the frozen cauliflower rice as the final solid layer. Note: The weight of the frozen ingredients helps push the lower layers into the blades.
  5. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the top.
  6. Secure the lid tightly and start the blender on the lowest speed setting.
  7. Ramp up to high speed over about 10 seconds.
  8. Blend for 45-60 seconds until you see a smooth, consistent color and a velvety texture. The mixture should look like thick ribbons.
  9. Stop and scrape the sides with your spatula if any stray bits of powder are visible.
  10. Give it one final 5 second pulse to ensure everything is perfectly emulsified.
