Notes
*I used a plant-based protein powder. A light colored protein powder such as unflavored or vanilla protein powder is recommended when making this recipe.
**For the low carb option reflected in the nutrition facts, use a sugar-free substitute such as monk fruit sweetener or stevia powder (but be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions)
***For the best color, add a splash of lemon juice to the blueberries when mashing or pureeing! The acidity of the lemon juice helps keep these blueberries vibrant and purple in color
****UPDATED 3/7/2022 doubled the serving size and added metric conversions to the recipe card
