Description
Berberine smoothie that tastes great. See smart mix-ins, safe tips, and realistic results—plus an easy recipe you’ll crave every morning.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or kefir for tang)
1 scoop vanilla protein (20–30 g; whey or plant)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 tbsp chia seeds (or 1 tbsp ground flax)
1 tsp almond butter (or 1/4 avocado)
1/4–1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
250–500 mg berberine powder (or 1 capsule opened)
Pinch fine sea salt
Ice as needed for thickness
Instructions
Add liquids to the blender: almond milk, vanilla, and (if using) kefir.
Sprinkle in berberine powder and blend for 10 seconds so it disperses.
Add protein, blueberries, chia, almond butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until silky; add ice if you want it thicker.
Taste and adjust: a squeeze of lemon brightens, another pinch of salt rounds flavor.
Pour into a chilled glass. Sip right away or refrigerate up to 24 hours in a sealed jar.
Notes
Make it brighter: add 1–2 tsp lemon juice or 1 tsp lemon zest.
Go greener: swap blueberries for 1/2 cup mango + a handful of baby spinach.
Chocolate twist: add 1 tbsp cacao powder and 1–2 dates or 1–2 drops monk fruit.
Fiber matters: chia or flax helps keep berberine suspended for a smoother sip.
Medication check: talk with your clinician if you take prescriptions or have conditions.
Batch it: freeze fruit/seed “kits,” then add liquid, protein, and berberine on blend day.
