Roasted Strawberry Protein Smoothie
This Roasted Strawberry Protein Smoothie offers a deeper, jammy berry flavor by roasting the fruit first. Blended with milk, Greek yogurt, and protein powder, it creates a thick, creamy, and satisfying drink.
Equipment
- High-Speed Blender
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup milk
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 cups strawberries
- ½ cup greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Add the milk, frozen banana, roasted strawberries with their juices, Greek yogurt, and vanilla protein powder to a high-speed blender, then blend for 60 to 120 seconds. The mixture should look smooth, thick, and creamy with a rich pink color and no visible specks of powder.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust if needed by adding a little more milk when it feels too thick or a little sweetener if you want more sweetness, then pour and serve right away or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. A well-blended smoothie should pour easily but still feel substantial, and a quick stir brings it back together if it settles.
Notes
Roasting Tip: For the best flavor, roast strawberries at 400°F until glossy and softened. Scrape all the fruit and their juices from the pan into the blender.
Creamy Texture: Use a frozen banana instead of a fresh one to make the smoothie thick and creamy without watering it down with ice.
Storage: Leftover smoothie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir or shake well before serving as separation is normal.
