Strawberry Mint Protein Smoothie

Summer in a glass – that’s what you’ll get with this refreshing Strawberry Mint Protein Smoothie! Packed with juicy strawberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and a hint of cool mint, this blend is not only delicious but also a nutritious way to refuel after a workout or kickstart your morning.

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup freshly chopped mint leaves
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

Add the frozen strawberries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, chopped mint leaves, and vanilla protein powder to a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.

Add the honey to the blender and blend until well combined.

Add ice cubes to the blender if you want a thicker, colder smoothie. Blend the mixture again until the ice is crushed and the smoothie is the desired consistency.

Pour the smoothie into 7 glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries if they’re in season and you prefer a stronger strawberry flavor.

If not, frozen strawberries work just as well! If you’re not a fan of mint, start with a smaller amount like 1-2 tablespoons of chopped leaves and adjust to taste.

You can always add more, but it’s harder to remove the flavor once it’s added.

You can swap the vanilla protein powder with your favorite flavor or a neutral-tasting protein powder like unflavored or peanut butter.

Don’t overdo it with the honey – you can always add more, but it’s harder to remove excess honey from the smoothie.

If you’re making this smoothie ahead of time, give it a good stir before serving as the ingredients may separate.

Consider using a high-powered blender to break down the mint leaves and ensure a smooth texture.

This smoothie is quite filling, so you might consider serving smaller portions or as a snack versus a meal replacement.
