Why you’ll love this recipe

• Only 4 simple ingredients: No protein powder required! This smoothie is naturally packed with protein thanks to Greek yogurt.
• Quick, creamy & refreshing: Ready in just 5 minutes for an energizing snack or breakfast on the go.

Ingredients and substitutions

• Frozen strawberries – Use fresh strawberries with a handful of ice, or try other berries like raspberries, blueberries, or frozen mango for a twist.
• Strawberry Greek yogurt – Swap for plain or vanilla Greek yogurt if you prefer less sugar or want to customize sweetness. Dairy-free yogurts like almond or coconut also work.
• Soy milk – Use any milk you like, such as almond, oat, coconut, or regular dairy milk. Soy has more protein, but all work great in this recipe.
• Hemp hearts – Chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or even a scoop of natural nut butter can be used to boost protein and healthy fats.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this smoothie without Greek yogurt?

Yes! Use regular yogurt, a dairy-free yogurt alternative, or even silken tofu for a swap.

Can I add protein powder to this smoothie?

Absolutely! A scoop of vanilla or unflavoured protein powder blends well with the strawberry flavour and boosts the protein content. Vega plant protein is my go-to.

Can I turn this into a smoothie bowl?

Yes! Just reduce the milk for a thicker consistency and top it with granola, sliced fruit, coconut flakes or nut butter.

What to serve with

Here are a few tasty ideas to enjoy alongside your smoothie:

• French toast or flatbread
• Hard-boiled eggs or egg muffins

Meal prep tools

• These are the mason jars I use for storing smoothies.
• The Vitamix Ascent series is my fave though – it’s self-cleaning so you aren’t left with a ton of mess and it’s perfect for if you’re prepping 3-4 smoothies at a time.
• For a cheaper and smaller alternative, you can use a Magic Bullet – the only hang up here is that I find I have to replace these models once every couple years or so because the motor eventually burns out.
