This Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie is simple, creamy, and easy to make with everyday ingredients. The combination of sweet strawberries and banana gives it a classic smoothie flavor, while protein powder and Greek yogurt help make it more filling than a basic fruit blend.
It is a great option for breakfast, a post-workout smoothie, or a quick snack when you want something cold, fruity, and satisfying.
For the smoothest texture, add the liquid first and the frozen fruit last. This helps the blender pull everything down evenly and keeps the protein powder from sticking to the bottom or sides of the container.
If you are using a Vitamix, start on the lowest speed and slowly increase to high. The smoothie should become creamy and fully blended in under a minute.
For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana or add more ice. For a thinner smoothie, add a splash more milk.
For extra protein, use Greek yogurt and a full scoop of protein powder.
For a dairy-free version, use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk and swap the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free yogurt.
For a sweeter smoothie, use vanilla yogurt or add a pitted date.
For a berry mix version, add frozen blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries.
For a smoothie bowl, reduce the milk to 1/2 cup and top with granola, sliced banana, strawberries, chia seeds, and a drizzle of almond butter.
