Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen bananas sliced
  • 2 cup frozen strawberries sliced
  • 6 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Crank up the machine to high and add almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is well-blended and smooth.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute protein powder with an equal amount of non-fat Greek yogurt for a healthier and more natural blend.
