Imagine my shock when I figured I couldn’t use oats, dairy, yogurt, kefir, ice cream, protein powders, or sweeteners to make my smoothie. Well, as with any challenge, I decided to make the best of the available choice. But guess what? This smoothie is as satisfying and filling as my keto smoothie.

This satisfying yet refreshing smoothie is a good enough reason to get out of bed! Also, it is a fantastic post-workout or midday smoothie to energize you. Customizable. While one might feel restricted due to the limited options, you can still customize the recipe. Throw in fresh berries, your favorite greens, coconut milk, and dates to this smoothie.
Ingredients Needed
Mixed berries. Go for a mix of frozen raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries to make an antioxidant-rich smoothie. Almond milk. To blend everything together. Coconut milk or any other nut milk will also work. Cashew butter. Enjoy the goodness of healthy fats with cashew butter. You could also substitute it with almond or peanut butter. For nut-free butter, use pumpkin or sunflower seed butter instead. Chia seeds. Enhance the fiber content of the smoothie by adding chia seeds to it. Banana. I have used frozen bananas to add sweetness to the smoothie.

Arman’s recipe tips
Add greens. Because the berry flavor is strong, you can sneak in spinach, kale, and other microgreens in this smoothie. Adjust the consistency. For an ice cream-like consistency, blend it into a thick smoothie. If you like a thinner consistency, add the milk of your choice while blending. Add collagen. While all protein powders may not be whole30 compliant, you can still use whole30 collagen peptides in this smoothie. Adjust the sweetness. You need not add frozen bananas to enhance the sweetness of fresh, ripe berries like strawberries. Make it thicker. While you cannot add Greek yogurt to thicken this smoothie, you can add shredded coconut or unsweetened coconut cream. And because this smoothie contains chia seeds, you could thicken it by storing it in the fridge for an hour.
Storage instructions
To store. Once blended, berries undergo oxidation and lose their nutritional value. So, this smoothie is best consumed fresh. But if you must, you can refrigerate it in a sealed bottle for three days. To freeze. Transfer the smoothie to a shallow freezer-safe container for long-term storage and freeze it for six months.
