Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie bowl packed with protein and natural sweetness, perfect for breakfast or a post-workout energy boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla-flavored whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the banana, measure out frozen strawberries, protein powder, almond milk, and Greek yogurt.
  2. Add almond milk to the blender first, then frozen strawberries, banana slices, protein powder, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and honey if using.
  3. Blend initially in pulses to break up frozen fruit, then blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and thick but spoonable. Scrape down sides if needed.
  4. Adjust consistency by adding a splash of almond milk if too thick, or a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit if too thin. Blend briefly again.
  5. Pour smoothie into a serving bowl, scraping all from the blender.
  6. Add desired toppings such as granola, sliced almonds, chia seeds, or fresh fruit slices.
  7. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture; optionally chill briefly before serving.

Notes

For a thicker bowl, use less almond milk or add ice cubes before blending. Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version. Blend protein powder with almond milk first to avoid clumps. Use frozen fruit for best texture. Add toppings just before serving to keep them crisp.
