Whey Protein Powder – Whey protein powder is the most highly studied nutritional supplement readily available, providing great nutritional value and numerous health benefits. In addition to high quality protein, it also contains bioactive peptides called lactokinins. Whey protein powder promotes muscle growth and maintenance, helps lower blood pressure, can lessen the effects of Type 2 diabetes, and reduces inflammation.

Equipment Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.
How To Make The Smoothie King Slim-N-Trim Strawberry
The Smoothie King Slim-N-Trim Strawberry is very easy to make:
- Step 1:Â Place strawberries, whey protein powder, water, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2:Â Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Step 3:Â Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4:Â Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Recipe Tips And Substitutions
If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
To make this smoothie creamier, you can add a half banana or a scoop of Greek yogurt.
For a plant-based version, substitute the whey protein with a vegan protein powder, such as pea or soy protein.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, consider adding a small amount of honey or a natural sweetener like Stevia.
