Chocolate Covered Strawberry Protein Smoothie

Total Time7 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries Using frozen is non-negotiable for that thick, creamy texture
  • 1 scoop about 30g chocolate protein powder (Whey, casein, or a plant-based blend all work)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds For fiber, healthy fats, and thickness
  • 1 cup milk of choice Dairy, almond, oat – you do you
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt Adds a creamy tang and a massive protein boost
  • Optional: A handful of ice cubes if your strawberries aren't fully frozen a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor, or a date for natural sweetness.

Instructions

  • Grab your blender. Add the liquid first – this is Blender 101, people.
  • It prevents everything from getting stuck at the bottom.
  • Next, toss in the Greek yogurt, followed by the frozen strawberries, protein powder, cocoa powder, and chia seeds.
  • Secure the lid tightly. IMO, cleaning a smoothie off your ceiling is not a fun workout. Start on a low speed, then quickly ramp up to high.
  • Blend for 45-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has that iconic thick, creamy consistency.
  • If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. Too thin? Add a few more frozen berries or an ice cube.
  • Pour it into a glass, maybe pretend you’re a social media influencer for a second, and enjoy immediately for the best experience.
