Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries (or fresh, with a few ice cubes)
  • 1/2 medium banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite low-calorie milk)
  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional, for fiber and omega-3s)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
  • 1/4–1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, only if needed)
  • Ice cubes as needed for thickness
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional, for warmth and sweetness)

Method
 

  1. Add liquids first. Pour the almond milk into your blender. This helps the blades move smoothly.
  2. Add the protein source. Spoon in Greek yogurt or add your protein powder so it blends evenly.
  3. Layer fruits and extras. Add the strawberries, banana, chia or flax, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  4. Blend until smooth. Start on low, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds. Add ice for thickness if you prefer a frosty texture.
  5. Taste and adjust. If you want it sweeter, add a small drizzle of honey. If it’s too thick, splash in more almond milk.
  6. Serve immediately. Pour into a glass and enjoy while it’s cold and creamy.
