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.
