Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and slice the banana into smaller pieces for easier blending.

- Place the banana slices into the blender.
- Add the strawberries.
- Scoop the whey protein powder into the blender.
- Pour in the 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream.
- Measure and add the 1.50 cups of 2% fat milk.
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Blend all ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Blend again briefly if additional milk is added.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
- Optionally, garnish with a strawberry on the rim or a slice of banana for a decorative touch.

Tips:
- Use a ripe banana for added sweetness and a creamier texture.
- Frozen strawberries can be used if fresh ones are not available; this will also give the smoothie a thicker consistency.
- Blend the ingredients starting at a low speed and gradually increase to high to ensure a smooth texture.
- Add a handful of ice cubes if you prefer a colder and thicker smoothie.
- Experiment with different types of whey protein powder flavors to find the one you like best.
- If you like it sweeter, add a teaspoon of honey or a sugar substitute.
