Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this blackberry smoothie recipe:

- Frozen banana
- Frozen blackberries
- Protein powder : Optional, but great if you want to make this more filling.
- Chia seeds
- Peanut butter
- Ice
Directions

Chef’s Tips
- Add liquids first. This protects your blender and helps everything blend more evenly.
- Control the thickness. If the smoothie feels too thick, add a small amount of milk.
