Looking for a protein boost? This Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie is a perfect pick — just 4 ingredients and low carb, dairy free, and gluten free!
4 ingredients, lots of protein
Strawberries, banana, non-dairy milk, and strawberry protein powder. Gather that, and you're set for this smoothie!
Depending on which protein powder and non-dairy milk you use, this smoothie has at least 20g protein per smoothie. Perfect for a protein-filled snack or on-the-go breakfast.
my all-time favorite protein powder
Hands down, my favorite protein powder is Equip Prime Protein! That's what I've used for this recipe.
I have many, many reasons that I love this protein powder, but the most important is that it's the best-tasting protein powder I've ever had — and it's made with beef!
If you've never had it before, that might seem a little crazy — but damn is this protein powder good. The vanilla tastes like birthday cake, the chocolate tastes like — well, chocolate, and the strawberry tastes like strawberry milk.
Ugh. Just too good, all of them!
Beyond the flavor, though, I like that Equip Prime Protein is dairy free and junk free. Of course, that's a big deal when making a dairy free chocolate strawberry smoothie.
Plus, 20g of protein per scoop doesn't lie — it delivers exactly what it's supposed to, which is high quality PROTEIN.
Variations of this strawberry banana protein smoothie
One of the best things about smoothies — they're endlessly customizable! Here are a few suggestions for changing up this recipe:
Can't find strawberry protein powder?
If you don't want to buy Equip Strawberry Prime Protein that I used in this recipe (let's face it: you SHOULD buy it because it's incredible), just use all vanilla.
Since we're also using strawberries in the recipe, it'll still be have plenty of strawberry flavor!
Want a little more green in your smoothie?
If you aren't super concerned with the visual aesthetic of your smoothie, toss in a handfull or two of spinach.
Otherwise, add a cup of zucchini. Seriously, zucchini is a GREAT smoothie addition — it's relatively neutral-flavored and adds a boatload of creaminess to any smoothie.
Also, great way to use up zucchini when you're drowning in it, which I usually am in late summer.
