Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, soy, oat, etc.)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (whey, plant-based, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for extra chocolate flavor)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- ½ cup ice (if using fresh strawberries)
Instructions
- Frozen vs. Fresh Strawberries: Frozen strawberries will give the shake a thicker, colder consistency, so ice may not be necessary. Fresh strawberries may need a few ice cubes to achieve the desired texture.
- Protein Powder: Choose a chocolate protein powder that you enjoy, as it influences the overall flavor.
- Milk Options: Experiment with different milk types. Almond milk adds a nutty flavor, oat milk is creamy, and dairy milk offers natural richness.
- Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or other sweeteners like stevia or agave nectar. Taste before adding more.
- Greek Yogurt: Adds both protein and creaminess. You can choose plain or vanilla-flavored yogurt.
- Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa enhances the chocolate flavor without adding extra sweetness.
