Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and nutritious smoothie combining frozen strawberries, ripe banana, vanilla protein powder, and Greek yogurt for a creamy, energizing breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150 g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 scoop (~30 g) vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla-flavored)
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the banana and cut into chunks. Measure 1 cup (150 g) frozen strawberries. If using fresh strawberries, add 4-5 ice cubes to keep smoothie chilled.
  2. Add frozen strawberries, banana chunks, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using) to the blender.
  3. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice.
  4. Blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add up to 1/4 cup (60 ml) more milk and blend again briefly.
  5. Taste and add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if sweeter flavor is desired; blend for 10 more seconds.
  6. Pour into a glass or to-go cup and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or chia seeds if desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, replace Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. To avoid protein powder aftertaste, blend frozen fruit first. Adjust thickness by adding more frozen fruit or ice cubes. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creamy texture.
