Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Banana Smoothie

• Super creamy: The banana makes it thick and smooth.
• Easy and quick: Ready in just 5 minutes with 4 simple ingredients!

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!
