Print Recipe

A quick and easy creamy high protein strawberry banana smoothie perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack, combining fruit, protein powder, and Greek yogurt for a nourishing and delicious start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries (150 g)
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30 g)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120 g), plain, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Peel the banana and break it into chunks. Measure out the frozen strawberries.
  2. Add one scoop of vanilla protein powder and half a cup of Greek yogurt into the blender.
  3. Pour in one cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk. Adjust the amount for desired thickness.
  4. Add chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup if using.
  5. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add more almond milk if too thick or ice cubes/frozen fruit if too thin.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness with extra honey if desired. Let sit for a minute if too cold or thick before drinking.

Notes

Use ripe or overripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Avoid over-blending to prevent heating the smoothie. If blender struggles with frozen fruit, pulse in bursts or let fruit thaw slightly. Store in fridge up to 24 hours and stir before drinking; avoid freezing after blending.
