Description
A quick, 5-minute breakfast smoothie packed with protein and creaminess, perfect for busy mornings. Made with frozen strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, and protein powder.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 large ripe banana (peeled and frozen)
- 1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 handful fresh spinach (optional)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Wash fresh strawberries if using, peel and chunk the banana, and measure out yogurt, milk, and protein powder.
- Load the blender in this order: liquid (almond milk) first, then soft solids (yogurt, banana), followed by frozen fruit, chia seeds, spinach, and protein powder on top.
- Blend on low speed initially, then increase to high. Blend for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding honey or milk as needed.
- Pour immediately into a glass or travel mug and serve.
Notes
For best texture, use frozen strawberries and frozen banana chunks. If using fresh fruit, add ice cubes. Blend for a full minute to ensure protein powder is fully dissolved. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
