Ingredient Substitutions

Experiment with different chocolate protein powders to find your favorite. If you prefer whey protein powder, I like this optimum nutrition gold standard chocolate whey.

If sugar-free chocolate chips are unavailable, opt for dark chocolate chips or chunks.

Recipe Variations

Here are some different ways to enjoy this strawberry chocolate smoothie while keeping the same main ingredients:

Peanut Butter Bliss: Amplify the protein content by adding a tablespoon of peanut butter for a nutty indulgence.

Fruit Fusion: Introduce fresh fruits like bananas or blueberries to enhance the natural sweetness and to add a fruit flavor twist.

Choco-Nut Crunch: Add a tablespoon of chopped nuts such as almonds or walnuts. The crunchy element adds a satisfying bite to your smoothie!

Minty Chocolate Strawberry Refresh: Add a few fresh mint leaves to the mix. The combination of mint, chocolate, and strawberry creates a refreshing and invigorating shake.

Coconut Cream Paradise: Replace the water with coconut water or coconut milk. This variation adds a subtle coconut flavor that pairs beautifully with the chocolate and strawberry.

Berry Citrus Burst: Add a squeeze of fresh orange or a splash of orange juice. The citrusy notes brighten up the chocolate and strawberry combination!

Storage Info

While this strawberry chocolate protein smoothie is best fresh, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. I love these insulated tumblers for storing smoothies and shakes in the refrigerator and to take them on the go.
