Blueberry Citrus Banger
Blueberry Citrus Banger earns its name with a big berry flavor and a bright citrus finish. Frozen blueberries and raspberries meet equal pours of orange and mango juice, while vanilla protein brings the whole thing together. It’s sweet, a little tart, and a whole lot more interesting than drinking the same shake every morning. Keep the fruit in the freezer and this high-protein breakfast smoothie is only a few minutes away.

Orange juice gives this blueberry protein smoothie its citrus kick, and mango juice softens that edge with a sweeter tropical flavor. Blueberries make up most of the frozen fruit, with raspberries adding tang and a little more texture. The result is a blueberry orange smoothie with more going on than its short ingredient list suggests. Vanilla protein gives the fruit flavors a softer finish without needing another creamy ingredient.
The easiest prep step is measuring the blueberries and raspberries together before the week gets busy. Keep the larger blueberry portion and smaller raspberry portion as written, then store each serving in the freezer. The two juices stay separate until blending. If you’re prepping more than one smoothie flavor, label the fruit bags with their names so choosing breakfast doesn’t turn into guessing which purple blend you made.
Start with the orange and mango juices, add the protein powder and frozen fruit, and blend thoroughly enough to break down the blueberries. Raspberry seeds can still be noticeable, depending on the blender. If it needs thinning, add a small amount of water and blend again. That gives you control over the consistency while keeping the original juice balance. This one is best blended when you’re ready to drink it, especially if you want that thick, cold texture.
A familiar vanilla powder makes it easy to compare fruit combinations without changing everything at once. Explore the vanilla protein smoothie collection for more ways to use the same tub, or build a breakfast rotation from the berry smoothies. A few prepared fruit bags and a couple of juice options can take you a long way. Browse all the high-protein smoothie recipes when you want another combination for next week.
