Strawberry Protein Smoothie — Smart In The Kitchen

A High-Protein Smoothie To Start Your Morning Right

I’ve posted this strawberry smoothie recipe once already, but I had a glitch with my recipe software. Thank you to those of you who let me know. Here’s the updated version with nutritional info calculated.

It’s Strawberry Protein Smoothie season around here. I start making smoothies regularly when it gets hot and stop around the beginning of November. It stays hot for a long time (too long?) in Houston. Lately, I’m craving a healthier, lower-sugar, higher-protein smoothie. And this Strawberry Protein Smoothie rings in at 35 grams of protein in 1 serving!

My kids prefer a simple strawberry-banana variation on repeat. When they were little, no one would touch their smoothie if I added protein powder, collagen peptides, frozen cauliflower, chia seeds or spinach. My kid’s version is a basic combo of frozen strawberries, banana, and vanilla yogurt, sometimes with a peeled mandarin orange. But over the years, we’ve evolved. Now, I can add a little avocado or frozen coconut and unflavored protein powder. Here’s my latest iteration in case your morning routine calls for a hefty protein dose, like mine.

A variation made with raspberries instead of strawberries.
