Ingredients
0.5 cup low-fat milk
0.5 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup frozen wild blueberries
1 frozen banana, sliced
0.5 navel orange, freshly squeezed juice
2 tsp navel orange zest
1 tsp culinary-grade dried lavender
2 tbsp whole egg powder
Instructions
Combine the low-fat milk, Greek yogurt, orange juice, and orange zest in the pitcher of a high-powered blender.
Add the frozen wild blueberries and frozen banana pieces to the liquid mixture.
Sprinkle the dried lavender and whole egg powder over the top of the ingredients.
Blend the mixture on high speed for sixty seconds until the consistency is completely smooth and homogenous.
Pour the finished smoothie into a chilled glass and serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
Ensure you use culinary-grade lavender to guarantee a delicate flavor; standard decorative lavender may be too soapy or bitter. You can swap low-fat milk for almond or soy milk for a vegan alternative, though the protein content will change. Serving in a chilled glass helps maintain the thick, icy consistency for longer.
