Description
A creamy, naturally sweet strawberry protein shake made with wholesome ingredients and no added sugar. Perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout boost, this refreshing smoothie is packed with protein and fiber to keep you energized and satisfied.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 frozen banana
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (no added sugar)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk into a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, vanilla protein powder, and Greek yogurt.
- Sprinkle in the chia seeds and add the vanilla extract.
- Blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- If a thicker texture is desired, add a few ice cubes and blend again. Adjust consistency with a small splash of milk if needed.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately while fresh and cold.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
Fresh strawberries can be used, but add ice for a thicker texture.
Add a handful of fresh spinach for extra nutrients without changing the flavor.
Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake well before drinking.
Best enjoyed immediately after blending for optimal texture and taste.
