Dr. Simpson’s Morning Smoothie Guide

Two optimized options for your NutriBullet 1000—one with whey isolate (creamy, very low lactose) and one with egg white protein (100% lactose-free). Built to sip from an insulated cup over a couple of hours.

This is what I do in the mornings - as I sip my smoothie over a couple of hours.

I go back and forth between Whey Isolate for a protein source or Egg proteins as a source. I am working to build a protein source for smoothies that we will market. Testing out different ones now, but you can see the different ones I use here and they are fine.

I use my NutriBullet 1000 because it is simple and easy. However, I do have a new Vitamix blender - the 15 year old one finally made way for a new one.

So here is my morning routine smoothie on those days when I get up too early and want to sip a smoothie throughout the day.

Whey Isolate Smoothie Creamy Berry Latte

Ingredients

1 cup (8 oz) cold oat milk or cold brew coffee
1 scoop (~25 g) whey isolate (e.g., Isopure Zero Carb or Thorne Isolate)
1 Tbsp PBfit (or 1 Tbsp natural peanut butter)
½ banana or 2 Tbsp yogurt (for creaminess)
1 cup frozen mixed berries (~150 g)
Optional: 1 tsp cocoa powder or ½ tsp instant coffee
Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)

Blending Order (NutriBullet 1000)

Liquid → protein → PBfit → banana/yogurt → berries.
Pulse twice to wet the powder, then blend 30 s.
Pause 5 s, blend 5 s to collapse air.

Texture: milkshake-smooth. Approx. nutrition: 280–320 kcal · 25 g protein · ~7 g fiber · low added sugar.

Egg White Protein Smoothie Frothy Berry Boost

Ingredients

1 cup (8 oz) cold coffee or cold oat milk
1 scoop (~25 g) egg white protein (e.g., Julian Bakery or NOW Sports)
1 Tbsp PBfit or nut butter
½ banana or 2 Tbsp yogurt (optional)
1 cup frozen mixed berries
Optional: 1 tsp cocoa powder or ½ tsp instant coffee
Optional: ¼ tsp olive or avocado oil (reduces foam)

Blending Tip

Use very cold liquid. Pulse, blend 25 s, rest 10 s, blend 5 s.
If foamy, let sit 30–60 s and swirl; the foam will settle.

Texture: light & airy, creamy from banana. Approx. nutrition: 260–300 kcal · 24 g protein · ~7 g fiber · 0 lactose.

Sipping & Storage Tips

Pour into an insulated cup immediately after blending.
Add 1–2 ice cubes to keep it cold for 2–3 hours.
Seal the lid to limit oxidation; keep chilled.
If separation occurs, shake lightly before sipping.
Optional: add ¼ tsp chia seeds for extra thickness and fiber.
A pinch of salt or dash of cinnamon enhances cocoa/coffee notes.

Quick Summary

Goal	Best Choice
Smoothest texture	Whey isolate
Completely lactose-free	Egg white protein
Flavor stability over 2–3 hrs	Egg white + coffee base
Richest taste	Whey + oat milk + banana + PBfit

Both recipes are designed for frozen mixed berries (1 cup). Adjust banana/yogurt for thickness and sweetness to taste.
