Creamy smoothie with strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt and protein powder. 21g protein per serving.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup milk (2%, almond, oat, or preferred variety)

02 - 1 frozen ripe banana

03 - 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, halved

04 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

05 - 1 scoop protein powder

02 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy with no fruit chunks remaining, stopping to scrape sides if needed

03 - Pour into glasses and serve immediately for best texture and nutritional value

01 - Freeze bananas ahead of time when they become overripe to achieve optimal texture without ice dilution

02 - Use frozen banana instead of ice to maintain creamy consistency and prevent watering down

03 - High-speed blender produces smoothest results; standard blenders may require longer blending time

04 - Vanilla yogurt adds natural sweetness; adjust with honey or maple syrup if fruits are underripe
