Tips for the Best Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie
- Use frozen fruit for a thicker smoothie: Frozen strawberries and bananas make the smoothie ultra-creamy and cold without needing extra ice.
- Choose the right protein powder: A high-quality vanilla or unflavored protein powder blends best. Avoid ones with artificial sweeteners for a more natural taste.
- Blend the liquid and protein powder first: This helps prevent clumping and ensures a smoother texture before adding the fruit.
- Adjust consistency to your liking: For a thinner smoothie, add more liquid. For a thicker, milkshake-like texture, use less liquid or add extra frozen fruit.
- Enhance the flavor: A splash of vanilla extract, a drizzle of honey (if needed), or a sprinkle of cinnamon can take the taste to the next level.
- Make it meal-prep friendly: Freeze individual smoothie packs with strawberries, banana, and protein powder. Add liquid and blend when ready!
