As a Registered Dietitian, I take my smoothie recipes seriously.

If I’m going to drink a smoothie for breakfast, I want it to fill me up for at least a few hours.

This means my smoothies need to have plenty of protein and fiber in them to slow digestion and keep blood sugar levels stable – just like in my chocolate peanut butter protein shake.

In addition to plain Greek yogurt, this smoothie also has chia seeds, peanut butter, and milk. All together, these ingredients provide over 20 grams of protein per serving without protein powder!

Looking to add even more protein to your meal? Pair this smoothie with 1-2 of my peanut butter protein bites for snacking.

The high protein content as well as high fiber content (11 grams per serving, or 39% of your daily needs) makes this smoothie one of my all-time favorite healthy breakfast recipes with protein!

It’s a cold, refreshing quick & healthy breakfast – just like my Greek yogurt overnight oats and Greek yogurt chia pudding.

Recipe testing notes about ingredients

  • Plain Greek yogurt: Compared to regular yogurt, Greek yogurt has almost twice as much protein. It’s also thicker in texture, lending a super creamy texture to fruit smoothies. I’ve tested this fruit smoothie recipe with nonfat, low-fat, and full fat Greek yogurt – all options work wonderfully!
  • Milk: Low-fat dairy milk is a solid choice to include in your diet for high-quality protein. You’ll need about half a cup of milk to help this smoothie blend easily. If you prefer plant-based milk, I’ve tested this smoothie using soy milk (which is higher in protein than other plant-based options), and you won’t be able to detect a flavor difference!
