Ingredients

2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon date syrup
3 tablespoons strawberry powder
1 scoop unflavored protein powder

Instructions

Put almond milk, date syrup, strawberry powder, and protein powder into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 5 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for 20 seconds.
Pour shake into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use cow's milk or soy milk if you want to increase the protein content.
Add another 1 tablespoon of strawberry powder to deepen the flavor.
An unflavored protein powder will allow the strawberry flavor to shine, but you can also use vanilla protein powder. Feel free to use powdered protein from animal or plant-based sources.
Leave out the date syrup for a less sweet drink.
To make a thicker and colder protein shake, add a few ice cubes to the blender after the protein powder.
The ideal amount of protein powder depends on your specific product. Be sure to read the packaging before adding powder to the blender.
Protein shakes are best consumed fresh. If you need to store leftovers, keep it in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days.
