Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie
Description
The smoothie incorporates frozen strawberries, half a frozen banana, frozen pomegranate seeds, vanilla protein powder, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Blended until smooth, the resulting drink is thick and creamy with a balance of sweet and slightly tart fruit flavors. The banana adds natural creaminess while the pomegranate provides tangy accents, complementing the vanilla protein powder’s mild flavor.
This smoothie can be served simply as a drink, or turned into a smoothie bowl by reducing the liquid quantity and blending longer to achieve a thicker texture suitable for spooning. Fresh fruit or granola makes suitable toppings if desired. The fruit ingredients can be adjusted to omit pomegranate, substituting with additional strawberries or more banana.
The blend is ideal for breakfast, post-workout, or as a nutritious snack that combines fruit and protein. It offers a balanced, easy-to-prepare option for incorporating fruit and supplementation into the diet.

- 4 strawberries medium, frozen
- 1 coop vanilla protein powder or coconut protein powder

Instructions

Notes
