Serving: 1 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup frozen strawberries (about 10 large berries, no need to thaw)
– 1 medium ripe banana, peeled and broken into chunks (the spottier, the sweeter!)
– 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about ¼ cup, or sub unflavored)
– ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for extra creaminess, or use dairy-free)
– ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you love, add more if too thick)
– 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness, or use maple syrup)
– ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract (trust me, it makes a difference)
– 4-5 ice cubes (if your fruit isn’t fully frozen)
Instructions
1. Add 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 medium ripe banana (broken into chunks), and 1 scoop vanilla protein powder to your blender pitcher.
2. Pour in ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon honey (if using), and ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
3. Tip: For easier blending and to prevent the motor from straining, always add liquids before solids when possible.
4. If your fruit isn’t fully frozen, drop in 4-5 ice cubes now to ensure a frosty, thick texture.
5. Securely place the lid on the blender and start on a low speed for about 10 seconds to break up the larger chunks.
6. Gradually increase to high speed and blend for 45-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible fruit pieces.
7. Tip: Stop the blender once halfway through to scrape down the sides with a spatula—this guarantees no sneaky, unblended bits are left behind.
8. Pour the shake immediately into a tall glass. For a diner-style treat, drizzle a little extra honey on the inside of the glass before pouring.
9. Tip: If the shake seems too thick, blend in an additional 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk until it reaches your preferred sippable consistency.
10. Serve right away for the best texture and coldest temperature.
Cheers to a shake that’s luxuriously thick, almost like a milkshake, but packed with the bright, sweet-tart punch of strawberries and the mellow creaminess of banana.
