Meet my new favorite smoothie. I've made it on repeat for the last 5 days in a row, and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. It has 18 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber, without relying on protein powder. The flavor reminds me of strawberry cheesecake, but it's entirely fruit-sweetened, so don't be surprised if you fall in love with it, too!

Ingredients

1 cup frozen strawberries
½ cup milk of choice
¼ cup orange juice
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 Medjool date , pitted

Instructions

In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen strawberries, milk, orange juice, yogurt, chia seeds, and the pitted date. Secure the lid and blend until smooth, about 60 seconds.

Note: In my experience, it's best to use a personal-sized blender when blending a single serving. The smaller size pulverizes the ingredients better! However, the Vitamix 5200 is also perfect for this.

As soon as the mixture is smooth, with no visible chunks, it's ready to serve right away.

Notes

Nutrition information is for the whole batch. This is automatically calculated using an online ingredient database, so it's just an estimate, not a guarantee.

Leftovers Tip: Freeze any leftovers in mini popsicle molds. They make a great frozen treat later!

Variations: I tested this recipe without orange juice at first (just more milk), and it did not taste like something I'd want to repeat. So, the OJ does make a big difference in flavor! The date does, too. If you don't want to use dates, half of a ripe banana might be good, too.

Blender Note: If you're wondering why I recommend using a personal size blender, check out my Vitamix Review video where I blend small batches side by side to show you the difference!
