Print Recipe

A quick, nourishing smoothie bowl combining strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, and protein powder for a creamy, protein-rich breakfast or snack that energizes and satisfies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred, or low-fat/dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla-flavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat/regular milk)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ¼ cup (30g) granola (choose crunchy variety with nuts and seeds)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Peel the banana and slice it into chunks. Measure out frozen strawberries, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
  2. Add frozen strawberries, banana chunks, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, aiming for a thick, spoonable consistency. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if too thin, add more frozen strawberries or ice.
  4. Stop blending and check thickness. Pulse if needed to maintain thick texture.
  5. Pour the smoothie mixture into a wide bowl.
  6. Sprinkle chia seeds and granola evenly over the top. Optionally add extra banana slices or fresh strawberries.
  7. Enjoy immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use frozen fruit for thick texture; add liquids gradually to avoid runny consistency. Pulse blending to maintain thickness. Store base separately from toppings if prepping ahead. Nut-free version: use oat or rice milk and seed-based granola. Add greens or nut butter for extra nutrients and flavor.
