Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen fruit 150g
  • ¾ cup milk (any kind) 180g
  • 1 scoop Bluebonnet whey isolate 31g (this protein powder is highly recommended because of its subtle flavor and lack of sweetener)
  • 1 tablespoon healthy fats (peanut butter, almond butter, flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, etc) optional

Flavor enhancers (optional)

  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener of choice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract alcohol free or low alcohol
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Add the frozen fruit to your blender cup, followed by milk, protein, and any additional ingredients.
  • Blend 30-60 seconds or until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Protein shakes are best when consumed immediately, but most can stay up to 24 hours when refrigerated in an airtight container. I like these insulated tumblers for storing shakes and smoothies in the fridge and for taking them on the go.
Nutrition: The nutrition facts listed here are for 150g frozen strawberries + ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk + 1 scoop whey isolate protein.
