A quick and easy creamy strawberry banana protein shake that provides a fresh, nourishing boost perfect for busy mornings or post-workout refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 3–4 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Peel the ripe banana and measure out one cup (150g) of frozen strawberries. Halve large strawberries if needed for easier blending.
  2. Place the frozen strawberries, banana, one scoop (about 30g) of vanilla protein powder, and 1/4 cup (60g) of Greek yogurt into your blender jar.
  3. Add 1 cup (240ml) of unsweetened almond milk. Adjust amount to control shake thickness.
  4. If desired, add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon (10g) of chia seeds, and 3-4 ice cubes.
  5. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Check consistency; add more almond milk if too thick or more ice/frozen banana if too thin, then pulse again.
  7. Pour into a tall glass or shaker bottle and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Frozen strawberries keep the shake cold and thick; fresh strawberries can be used with added ice cubes. Vanilla protein powder blends best for flavor. Pulse blender if struggling with frozen fruit. Store shake in fridge up to 24 hours and shake well before drinking. Avoid freezing after blending.
