Ingredients

For the smoothie base:
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries 225 g
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt 180 g, 5% or 2% fat
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder 30 g
  • 1 tablespoon allulose optional, if strawberries are not sweet
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt
For the toppings
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sliced strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons granola low-sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flakes
  • 1 teaspoon nut butter drizzled
  • Fresh blueberries or banana slices optional

Equipment

  • High-powered blender (with tamper if possible)
  • Chilled serving bowl
  • Spoon

Method

  1. Load the blender in order. Add milk, lemon juice and Greek yogurt to the bottom of the blender. Add whey protein, allulose and salt. Add frozen strawberries on top. Layering liquid at the bottom helps the blades catch with less liquid.
  2. Blend thick, not thin. Blend on low then medium, using a tamper to push the frozen fruit into the blades. Aim for a thick soft-serve consistency. Add milk only 1 tablespoon at a time if needed, 4 tablespoons maximum. Stop the moment it is smooth.
  3. Pour and smooth. Scrape the thick base into a chilled bowl and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
  4. Top and serve. Arrange toppings in neat rows: sliced strawberries, granola, coconut, chia seeds, and a drizzle of nut butter. Serve immediately with a spoon.

Notes

  • Frozen strawberries are essential for thickness. Fresh makes a drinkable smoothie.
  • Resist adding liquid. Use a tamper instead. Less liquid means a thicker bowl.
  • Chill the serving bowl 10 minutes for best texture while you add toppings.
  • Choose low-sugar granola so toppings add nutrition, not just sugar.
  • Best eaten immediately. Use freezer prep packs for fast mornings.
