The athlete version of the High-Fibre Berry Blast Smoothie is built to fuel high-output training days — doubled up on berries, banana, and Greek yogurt, with oats added for slow-digesting carbohydrate energy. You’re getting over 700 calories, 44g of protein, and 21g of fibre in a single glass, all from whole-food ingredients that blend together in minutes.
Nutrition Per Serving
Calories: 722 cal | Protein: 44g | Carbs: 97g | Fat: 22g | Fibre: 21g
Makes 1 serving. Nutrition calculated using unsweetened almond milk. Substituting 2% dairy milk adds ~80 cal and ~8g protein.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2%)
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 medium frozen banana
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp flax meal
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 cup milk of choice
Optional: Use vanilla or strawberry-flavoured Greek yogurt instead of plain to enhance the flavour.
Instructions
1. Blend and Serve
Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend on high for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth — the oats and chia seeds need a little extra blending time to fully break down. Pour into a large glass and drink immediately.
Dietitian Tips
- The oats make a difference. Rolled oats add a slow-digesting carbohydrate source that helps sustain energy through longer training sessions — blend thoroughly so they fully incorporate.
- Time it around training. The combination of fast-acting fruit carbs and slower oat carbs makes this a solid pre-workout meal 60–90 minutes before a session, or a post-workout recovery option immediately after.
- Boost calories further with dairy milk. Swapping almond milk for 2% dairy brings this to ~802 cal and adds another 8g of protein — useful in a mass-building phase.
