Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Gather all the ingredients: whey protein powder, frozen strawberries, milk, vanilla extract, banana, and Greek yogurt.
- Peel the banana and slice half of it into chunks.
2. Blending:
- Add the cup of frozen strawberries to the blender.
- Pour in the cup of milk (2% fat).
- Drop in the sliced banana chunks.
- Add 2/3 cup of Greek yogurt.
- Sprinkle in one scoop of whey protein powder.
- Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
3. Blend Until Smooth:
- Secure the lid of the blender.
- Blend on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on the power of your blender.
- Stop once to scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed to ensure everything blends evenly.
4. Serve:

- If desired, garnish with a slice of fresh strawberry or a banana slice on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.
5. Enjoy:

Tips:

- Blend Thoroughly: Make sure to blend the ingredients until smooth to achieve a creamy texture. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender.

- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter shake, add a little honey or a few dates. However, the natural sweetness from the strawberries and banana is usually sufficient.

- Consistency: If the shake is too thick for your liking, add a little more milk until it reaches your desired consistency.

- Make It Vegan: To make this shake vegan-friendly, substitute the whey protein powder with a plant-based protein powder, use a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk, and choose a dairy-free yogurt option.

- Add Extra Nutrition: For an extra nutritional boost, consider adding a handful of spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds. These additions won't significantly alter the flavor but will increase the nutrient content.

This Strawberry Banana Protein Power Shake is not only easy to prepare but also incredibly beneficial for your health. It provides a balanced mix of nutrients that support muscle recovery, boost energy levels, and keep you feeling full longer. Enjoy this shake as a quick breakfast or a nutritious snack!
