Strawberry Protein Smoothie

This creamy smoothie is an easy way to start your day or recharge with a quick snack. Sweet strawberries and banana pair perfectly with protein-rich Greek yogurt and hemp hearts for a drink that’s both filling and delicious. It’s made with simple ingredients that are easy to keep on hand.

Frozen fruit works just as well as fresh, and you can easily swap in blueberries, peaches, or mixed berries. Toss in a handful of spinach, collard greens, carrots, etc. for an extra serving of veggies - it blends in without changing the flavor much!
