▹ How to Make

1. Add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, strawberries, banana, protein powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
2. Add the ice cubes and blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds, or until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Check the consistency. Add a small splash of almond milk if the smoothie is too thick.
4. Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.

▹ Helpful Tips

• Use frozen strawberries and banana for a naturally thick and cold smoothie without adding too much ice.
• Choose plain Greek yogurt without added sugar to keep the ingredient list simple.
• If your protein powder is already very sweet, you may not need any additional sweetener.
• For a thicker smoothie bowl consistency, reduce the almond milk slightly and blend with frozen fruit.
• For meal prep, portion the fruit into freezer bags ahead of time so the smoothie takes only a few minutes to prepare.

▹ Variations and Serving Ideas

For extra creaminess, add 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter or almond butter. You can also replace the almond milk with regular milk, soy milk, or another unsweetened milk alternative.

To increase the fiber content, add an extra teaspoon of chia seeds or 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed. For a refreshing variation, add a few fresh mint leaves before blending.

This smoothie works especially well as a quick breakfast, post-workout snack, or afternoon meal between larger meals. Serve it immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Chia seeds add fiber and healthy fats, helping create a more satisfying drink. Together, the ingredients provide a balanced combination of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and micronutrients in a convenient format.
