Orange juice does most of the citrus work here, with a smaller pour of lemonade adding another layer of tang and sweetness. Strawberries lead the fruit portion, while blueberries deepen the flavor and color. Together, they make a citrus berry smoothie that gives you something different from a plain strawberry shake without asking you to track down a long list of ingredients.
Measure the frozen strawberries and blueberries into individual bags or containers if you want to get breakfast ready ahead of time. Keep them frozen until blending and add the orange juice and lemonade first. Whole frozen strawberries can take a little more work than the blueberries, so check that everything is blended through before pouring. The fruit is doing the chilling and thickening in this recipe.
Lemonade and vanilla protein both affect the sweetness, and the brands you choose will make a difference. Give the original blend a taste before reaching for another sweetener. If you need a thinner consistency, start with a small splash of water; extra lemonade will also change the citrus balance. For anyone used to a milk-based protein shake, this juice-based combination offers a brighter fruit flavor while still putting that familiar vanilla powder to work.
Strawberries and blueberries are useful freezer staples because they can go in plenty of other breakfasts. Explore the berry smoothie collection for more combinations, or keep the powder consistent and vary the fruit with our vanilla protein smoothies. Pick a few from the high-protein smoothie recipes and portion them in one session. That’s a small prep job that can take several decisions out of a busy week.
