Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (or frozen)
  • 1 ripe banana

Dairy & Protein

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Liquids

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

Sweeteners

  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and place them on the counter for easy access.
  2. Prep Strawberries: Wash fresh strawberries thoroughly, remove the green tops, and slice them in half to ensure smooth blending.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Place strawberries, Greek yogurt, protein powder, banana, and milk into a blender. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup at this stage.
  4. Blend Smoothly: Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy, adding additional milk if you desire a thinner consistency.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or maple syrup.
  6. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries to create a thicker, colder smoothie without ice.
  • Substitute milk with any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Adjust the amount of protein powder according to your dietary needs and preferences.
  • For added fiber, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
  • This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
