Strawberry Milkshake Smoothie
This strawberry milkshake smoothie combines the nostalgic flavor of a classic milkshake with the nourishing goodness of a smoothie. It’s made with frozen strawberries, a ripe banana, and creamy Greek yogurt, resulting in a thick, frosty drink that tastes like a treat but is packed with nutrients. Naturally sweet and high in protein, it’s a great option for breakfast, a post-workout refreshment, or even a healthy dessert—all with no added sugar.
Ingredients
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups lowfat milk
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed optional
- 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup frozen peaches or pineapple
Instructions
- Add the banana, Greek yogurt, milk, flaxseed, and roughly half of the frozen fruit to your blender. Starting with just part of the frozen fruit helps the blades move more easily and creates a smoother blend at the beginning.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes mostly smooth and creamy. Then, add the remaining frozen fruit and continue blending until the smoothie reaches a thick, even consistency with no chunks remaining.
- Once fully blended, pour the smoothie into glasses and serve right away while it's cold and refreshing. This recipe works great for a quick breakfast or a healthy snack.
