Instructions
- Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
- Add the frozen blueberries, protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
- Add the ice cubes.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
- Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen blueberries if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use any neutral milk like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free variation. For a thicker smoothie, freeze the blueberries beforehand.
