A quick and easy creamy garlic butter protein smoothie with a unique savory twist, perfect for a nourishing boost any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon garlic butter (e.g., Kerrygold)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, plant-based or whey)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or dairy/oat milk)
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 small ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 small clove fresh garlic, minced finely
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 3–4 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. If garlic butter isn’t soft, gently warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Mince the fresh garlic clove very finely.
  2. In a blender, add 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and softened garlic butter. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds to emulsify.
  3. Add 1 scoop protein powder, ½ cup Greek yogurt, mashed banana, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if using.
  4. Blend on high speed for about 60 seconds until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Add 3-4 ice cubes and blend again until desired thickness is reached. Adjust with more almond milk or ice as needed.
  6. Taste and adjust garlic flavor by adding a tiny pinch more minced garlic if desired, or mellow with extra banana or yogurt.
  7. Serve immediately in a glass and enjoy the creamy, savory smoothie.

Notes

Blend garlic butter with milk first to avoid clumps and greasy pockets. Mince garlic finely to prevent large bites. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Store in airtight container up to 24 hours; stir or reblend before drinking. Avoid freezing to maintain texture.
