Strawberry Cream Smoothie is a great post-workout drink or a nice snack in between meals to keep you boosted with energy. These fruits contain a lot of antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. If you like your smoothie extra sweet, you can add some whole natural dried fruits like dates or freeze-dried fruits.

What is the best protein to add to your strawberry cream smoothie?

There are many great protein options for smoothies, but some popular ones include whey protein powder, plant-based protein powder (such as pea, soy, or hemp protein), Greek yogurt, and tofu. Ultimately, the best protein for your smoothie depends on your personal preferences and dietary needs.

Blending smoothies for breakfast has become popular because it is an easy and convenient way to consume a variety of nutrients in one meal. Smoothies can be customized to include fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients that provide energy and support overall health.

INGREDIENTS

  • Strawberries: Get the freshest strawberries and wash them thoroughly. You have the option of cutting them in half so they’ll blend easier. 
  • Banana: It adds sweetness and creaminess to your smoothie. If you want your smoothie thicker you can add two bananas. 
  • Yogurt: Adding yogurt to your smoothie can provide a creamy texture and also add protein, calcium, and probiotics to your drink. Probiotics can help with digestion and boost our immune system. 

OPTIONS:

  • Fruit juice, coconut water, dried fruits, freeze-dried fruits, your choice of protein powder, and seeds (like chia seeds and flax seeds).
