Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries frozen
- 1 cup almond milk, vanilla unsweetened
- 1 whey protein powder, vanilla chocolate
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup ice
- 1 Collagen Boost optional
Instructions
- Place strawberries, almond milk, chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
- 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.
- Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Notes
- 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.
- You can substitute another type of fruit, like raspberries or cherries, for the strawberries or use a different type of protein powder, such as vanilla or unflavored.
- To make this smoothie vegan, choose a plant-based protein powder and ensure the chocolate flavor is dairy-free.
