Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Banana
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 1 cup Milk (or plant-based milk for a vegan option)
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- 5 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the large banana and break it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and hull them to remove the green stems.
In a blender, combine the banana chunks, strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds.
Add the honey or maple syrup, depending on your dietary preference, to sweeten the smoothie naturally.
Add the ice cubes to the blender to give the smoothie a nice frothy texture.
Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the smoothie is smooth and creamy. This should take approximately 1-2 minutes.
If the smoothie is thicker than desired, add more milk a little at a time to reach your preferred consistency.
Pour the smoothie into two serving glasses and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
