1. Gather Your Ingredients: Lay out all your measured ingredients on the counter. This includes your frozen berries, protein powder, milk, Greek yogurt, and any optional additions like chia seeds or vanilla extract.

2. Add Liquids First: Pour the unsweetened almond milk and plain Greek yogurt into your blender. Adding liquids first helps the blades move more freely and prevents ingredients from getting stuck at the bottom.

3. Introduce Solids and Powders: Next, add the mixed frozen berries, vanilla protein powder, and optional chia seeds and vanilla extract to the blender.

4. Secure the Lid: Make sure the blender lid is securely fastened to prevent any spills during blending.

5. Blend Until Smooth: Start blending on a low setting, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend for about 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks of fruit or powder. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

6. Check Consistency and Taste: Open the lid and check the consistency. If you prefer it colder or thicker, add a few ice cubes and blend again for another 10-15 seconds. Taste and adjust if necessary, though the balance of flavors should be just right.

7. Pour and Serve Immediately: Pour your freshly blended 30g Protein Berry Smoothie into a tall glass and enjoy it right away. The flavors and texture are best when consumed immediately.
