Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie
This cool and refreshing Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie packs 25 grams of protein and is a delicious way to cool down after a workout or day in the sun!
Ingredients
- 4 oz. strawberries
- 1 oz. banana
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, (1 oz.)
- 1 teaspoon flaxseed
- Water
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until fully mixed (I use my Nutribullet).
- Add water. Start out with just a little water and then slowly add as much as you like to get the right consistency.
- Serve over ice or use frozen berries to give the smoothie a thicker (almost slush-ice) consistency.
Notes
This recipe is for one smoothie.
Since the amount of liquid in fruit can vary, you'll want to add water gradually until you reach your desired consistency. No one wants an overly-watery smoothie!
This smoothie is best served fresh. If you have any leftover, it will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about a day or so. Try to fill the container as much as possible to reduce the amount of air in it and prevent oxidation.
Fresh or frozen strawberries can be used. Fresh strawberries have a stronger flavor, but frozen ones give the smoothie a thicker (almost slush-ice) consistency.
