Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 ripe medium banana
  • 1 cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 cup dairy or plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • A handful of ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries if fresh. Peel the ripe banana and slice into chunks.
  2. Place strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and milk into the blender.
  3. Add chia seeds if using, then drizzle honey or maple syrup if desired for sweetness.
  4. Add ice cubes if you want a thicker, chilled smoothie.
  5. Blend on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides if needed.
  6. Adjust consistency by adding more milk if too thick or more ice/frozen fruit if too thin, then blend briefly.
  7. Pour into a glass or travel cup and serve immediately. Optionally garnish with a strawberry or sprinkle of chia seeds.

Notes

Use ripe fruit for best flavor. Adjust milk and ice to achieve desired consistency. For vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt and protein powder with plant-based alternatives. Add cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor. Clean blender immediately after use to avoid scrubbing.
