How to make the best ever Blueberry Vanilla Protein Shake
The blueberries
For this recipe, feel free to use fresh or frozen blueberries!
The milk
There are tons of options when it comes to the milk used in this recipe. We used oat milk for an extra creamy texture, but feel free to use almond, cashew, or regular milk!
The protein powder
What makes this Blueberry Vanilla Protein Shake the best? Having the right protein powder on hand! We used the Arbonne Vanilla Protein Powder for this recipe because it’s vegan, gluten-free, and actually tastes delicious. While many protein powders have a terrible, fake-sugar aftertaste, this protein powder uses a small amount real sugar and genuinely tastes amazing.
The ingredients are wonderful in the Arbonne Vanilla Protein Powder, which is why it’s one of our favorites! If you’re interested in learning more about this go-to healthy protein powder, be sure to check out this Arbonne products review.

I have 2 massive containers of blueberries in my fridge right now that I was trying to figure out what to do with! Then I came across this recipe! I’m going to make this for my kids snack this afternoon! Love that I can use almond milk, too!

That shake looks so good and creamy. It’s a good thing blueberries are on sale at the store, I’ll have to stock up and freeze some. We always have vanilla protein powder at our house. This protein shake will be perfect for after our workouts.

I love the creamy texture of this shake! The color from the blueberries had my kiddos intrigued. It took less than I expected to make and used up all my blueberries that needed to be used. Can’t wait to make it again tomorrow!
