Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 frozen banana (sliced; for creaminess and mild sweetness)
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or 0%; use dairy-free yogurt if needed)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey, pea, or your favorite)
  • 1/2–3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice; start with less)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional, for texture and fiber)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, boosts flavor)
  • Sliced fresh strawberries
  • Granola or toasted oats
  • Almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes
  • Drizzle of nut butter
  • Cacao nibs or dark chocolate shavings

Method
 

  1. Prep your blender. Add the frozen strawberries and frozen banana first. This helps the blades catch and creates a creamy base.
  2. Add the protein and yogurt. Scoop in the Greek yogurt and protein powder. These create the thick, high-protein texture you want in a bowl.
  3. Layer in the extras. Sprinkle in chia or ground flax. Add vanilla and a touch of honey if you like a little sweetness.
  4. Pour in the liquid slowly. Start with 1/2 cup almond milk. You can always add more if needed, but too much liquid makes it soupy.
  5. Blend low and pulse. Use a low setting or pulse to break up the frozen fruit. Scrape down the sides as needed to keep everything moving.
  6. Adjust thickness. If it’s too thick to blend, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add more frozen strawberries or a few ice cubes.
  7. Taste and tweak. Check for sweetness and flavor. Add a bit more honey, vanilla, or a pinch of salt to sharpen the taste.
  8. Serve it right away. Pour into a bowl and smooth the top with a spoon. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy while it’s cold and thick.
