TIPS
- For Extra Creaminess: For extra creaminess, soak chia seeds in the water for 10 minutes before blending.
- For Thicker Texture: Use plain Greek yoghurt for a thicker texture and more protein.
- Use Frozen Blueberries: Rinse frozen blueberries quickly before blending to remove any excess frost.
- Use Tamper Function: Use a tamper or pulse function if your blender struggles with frozen fruit.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Version: Use dairy-free yoghurt and a plant-based protein powder.
- Berry Swap: Replace blueberries with blackberries or mixed berries.
- Fibre Boost: Add 1/2 tablespoon ground flaxseed or psyllium husk.
- Nut-Free Option: Ensure your protein powder is nut-free; top with seeds instead of granola.
- Citrus Twist: Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to brighten the flavour.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Prepping: Pre-soak chia seeds and freeze blueberries in portioned bags. Keep yoghurt and protein powder pre-measured in small containers.
- Storage: Best eaten fresh for optimal texture. It can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 12 hours. Stir before serving.
- Freezing: The blended base can be frozen and defrosted in the fridge overnight. Texture may soften slightly; stir to restore consistency.
