Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 20-25g protein)
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)
  • 4-5 ice cubes
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Layer ingredients properly. Add almond milk to the blender first, followed by Greek yogurt and almond butter.
  • Add protein powder. Add vanilla protein powder before frozen fruit to prevent clumping.
  • Add strawberries and seeds. Add frozen strawberries, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, and honey if using.
  • Add ice. Top with ice cubes for additional thickness.
  • Blend until completely smooth. Start on low and gradually increase to high speed. Blend for 60 seconds until uniformly pink with no strawberry chunks or white protein powder streaks visible.
  • Adjust as needed. Too thick? Add more almond milk. Want it sweeter? Add another 1/2 teaspoon honey. Want more vanilla flavor? Add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.
  • Pour and enjoy. Transfer to a large glass and drink within 20 minutes for best flavor and texture.
