Strawberry Protein Smoothie
Description
The Strawberry Protein Smoothie mixes frozen banana and fresh strawberries with milk and Greek yogurt, adding vanilla protein powder to boost the protein content. Blending these ingredients produces a thick and creamy smoothie with natural fruit sweetness balanced by the creamy yogurt and milk base. Adjusting the milk quantity customizes the thickness, while optional sweetener can help if a sweeter taste is preferred.
This smoothie is suited for quick nutrition, ideal for a breakfast option or a post-workout snack. Serving immediately preserves its fresh texture, though storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours is possible, with some settling expected.
Substitutions allow for flexibility, as plant-based milks can replace dairy milk to make it vegan, and plant-based or regular yogurt can be used in place of Greek yogurt. Adding a splash of lemon or lime juice can help reduce oxidation if storing.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup milk
- 1 banana frozen
- 2 cups strawberries
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons protein powder vanilla
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender, and blend for 60-120 seconds until you get a smooth and creamy texture.
- Taste the smoothie, adding more milk if it is too thick or adding more sweetener if it’s not sweet enough for you. Pour into a cup or mason jar. Enjoy immediately, or store in fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator; consume within 24 hours for best freshness.
- Adding a squeeze of lemon or lime juice can help prevent the fruit from browning during storage.
- You can substitute regular milk with almond, cashew, or coconut milk to make a dairy-free version.
- For yogurt, plant-based or plain alternatives can replace Greek yogurt according to preference.
