tips to make Strawberry Protein Shake

• Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, colder shake without ice.
• Taste before serving and add honey or maple syrup only if more sweetness is needed.
• Add a handful of spinach for extra greens — it will not change the taste much.
• Measure protein powder to match your nutrition needs.

variation (if any)

• Swap almond milk for cow’s milk or oat milk.
• Add a tablespoon of peanut butter for more calories and flavor.
• Mix in a few oats or chia seeds for more fiber.
