Why you will love this strawberry protein shake recipe!

I became a smoothie regular in college. They’re such an easy way to pack in fruit, veggies, and protein while being able to take it on the go. This strawberry protein shake flavor is truly one of my favorites. Since I’ve been making this recipe for so long, I can also say it’s delicious with a spoonful of peanut butter added in.

Not only do I give this recipe a 10/10 for flavor because it tastes like cheesecake but…

How to make a protein shake thicker?

We recommend adding more frozen fruit, but ice is an option too if you want your shake thicker.

Why does my protein shake taste chalky?

The reason your protein smoothie tastes chalky is likely because of the protein powder you used. I prefer a whey protein because it’s commonly less chalky. I’ve also had really great success using collagen powder, too.

More Variations of this Protein Shake Recipe

  • Berry: swap strawberries for frozen blueberries or blackberries.
  • Add a nut butter: I’ve added peanut butter to this recipe and it’s incredible. You could also try almond or cashew butter.
  • Swap the Greek: use cottage cheese instead of Greek yogurt for extra cheesecakey flavor.
  • Add a green: make it a green protein shake by adding spinach or kale.

This recipe makes two servings. Can you add one serving to store in the frig for the next day. Will it get too thick from the powder.

Sorry Salman I may not have answered your question, correctly my apologies. I agree it’s confusing. It says yields 2 then 1x. Maybe someone can clarify for all of us. Is the serving size 8 oz and do we divide the nutritional information by 2?
