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.
