Method
 

  1. Wash and hull the fresh strawberries thoroughly to prepare them for blending.
  2. Measure out 1 cup of your preferred plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat) and set aside.
  3. Add a scoop of vegan chocolate protein powder to your blender. This is key for the protein boost.
  4. Peel and add the frozen banana to the blender. A frozen banana is crucial for a thick, creamy texture.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for an intense chocolate flavor.
  6. Toss in a small handful of ice cubes to make the smoothie extra cold and refreshing, if you like a thinner consistency.
  7. Carefully place all the prepared ingredients into a high-speed blender.
  8. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  9. Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious creation!

Notes

This smoothie is highly customizable! Feel free to add a handful of spinach for extra greens (you won't taste it!), a spoonful of nut butter for healthy fats, or a dash of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor. For a thicker smoothie, add less plant-based milk or more frozen banana/ice.
