GLP-1 Protein Berry Smoothie (25g Protein)

When chewing a full meal feels like a chore, a smoothie can be the easiest way to land real protein. This one blends thick and cold, sits gently on a queasy stomach, and gives you about 25g of protein in a glass you can sip slowly.

Ingredients

• 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
• 120g (½ cup) plain Greek yogurt
• 80g (½ cup) frozen mixed berries
• 150ml (⅔ cup) milk or unsweetened almond milk
• ½ small banana (optional, for sweetness)
• A few ice cubes

Method

1. 1Add the milk, yogurt and protein powder to a blender first so the powder does not clump.
2. 2Add the berries, banana and ice.
3. 3Blend until completely smooth, adding a splash more milk if it is too thick.
4. 4Pour into a tall glass and sip slowly over 10–15 minutes.

Tips for GLP-1 appetites

• Serve cold — chilled, mild drinks are often the easiest thing to keep down on a nausea day.
• Sipping slowly avoids the early fullness and discomfort that gulping a large drink can cause on GLP-1 medication.
• No protein powder? Swap in an extra ½ cup of Greek yogurt and a tablespoon of nut butter.
