A vibrant pink, creamy, and protein-rich smoothie that provides a healthy boost with sweet strawberries, vanilla protein, and a hint of natural vanilla. Perfect for quick breakfasts, snacks, or post-workout refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat/coconut milk)
  • ยฝ cup (125g) Greek yogurt (plain, full fat or low fat; dairy-free for vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) fresh lemon juice
  • ยฝ cup (120ml) ice cubes
  • ยฝ teaspoon pink beet powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients: frozen strawberries, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), fresh lemon juice, and ice cubes.
  2. Add strawberries and almond milk to the blender. Blend on medium speed for about 20 seconds until the fruit breaks down.
  3. Add protein powder and Greek yogurt. Blend on high for 30 seconds until fully combined and silky.
  4. Pour in honey or maple syrup and fresh lemon juice. Blend for another 10 seconds.
  5. Add ice cubes if desired. Pulse blend 3-4 times to crush the ice without watering down the mix.
  6. Check consistency and taste. Adjust by adding more almond milk if too thick, or more frozen strawberries or ice cubes if too thin. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  7. Optionally, add ยฝ teaspoon beet powder and blend for 5 seconds for extra pink color.
  8. Serve immediately in a clear glass and enjoy.

Notes

Use a high-quality vanilla protein powder to avoid chalky taste. If blender struggles with frozen fruit, thaw berries for 5 minutes before blending. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Drink immediately for best texture and flavor. Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator up to 24 hours; shake before drinking. Avoid freezing after blending.
