• Veggies – Feel free to add in veggies such as spinach or kale for a more healthier option.
• Sweetener – If you need to make it sweeter, add in honey, stevia, or maple syrup. Vanilla extract can be added for added flavor.
• More Protein – For even more protein add in cottage cheese to this strawberry protein shake recipe. You can even add in Greek Yogurt or cream cheese.

Recipe Tips

• Combining Ingredients – Feel free to layer the ingredients in the blender at one time.
• Adding Ice – Ice creates a thicker texture when making a smoothie. It will depend how thick your ice is on how well it blends. You may need to add more ice or more liquid depending on the consistency of the smoothie.
• Blender – Having a good blender is a must to make sure the ingredients are blended evenly. We recommend using a Vitamix Blender for best results.
