Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries
- 1 scoop (~30g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
- Optional: 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- Optional: 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Optional: 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt
- Optional: a handful of spinach or kale
Instructions
- Measure 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries, 1 scoop (~30g) vanilla protein powder, and 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk.
- Place the frozen strawberries into the blender first, then add the protein powder on top. Pour the almond milk over everything.
- Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Add more almond milk if too thick.
- Taste and add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired, then blend for another 10 seconds.
- If using, add chia seeds, greens, or Greek yogurt and blend for an additional 15 seconds.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Use small-curd frozen strawberries for best texture. Adjust thickness by varying almond milk amount. Avoid over-blending to prevent warming the shake. Store in fridge up to 24 hours; shake before drinking. Freeze leftovers in ice cube trays for later smoothies.
