Ingredients
Scale
- 360 g (2½ cups) strawberries, hulled
- 100 g (1 small) banana

Instructions
- Prep the fruit and dairy. Measure strawberries and banana. If using fresh strawberries, add ice; if using frozen, no extra ice needed. Chill milk if possible.
- Layer the blender. Add chilled milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, the fruit, and a pinch of salt in that order.
- Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and thick, scraping the sides once.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or texture; add honey or lemon juice as needed and serve immediately.
Notes
For a thicker shake, substitute half the banana with avocado. Store in the fridge for up to 48 hours or freeze for up to a month.
