There's no better way to start a Monday morning than with the best strawberry banana protein smoothie there ever has been created! This non-dairy smoothie is so quick fresh, and delicious that you won't have to have it just for breakfast, it would also be a great afternoon snack.
Here are all of the ingredients that I use for this smoothie:
- 5-6 strawberries
- a banana
- a 1/2 cup to 1 cup of coconut water
- a cup full of ice
- one scoop of a vanilla protein powder (I use EAS Lean 15, but I have used others and it's been just as good!)
To make the smoothie I use a Ninja blender, but I've used a regular blender and it works just as good as well!
I like to add the strawberry and bananas to the bottom of the blender so that it makes the fruit really smooth.
Next, I add the ice and the protein powder. I just do one scoop, but if you need more protein then you could add one to two.
Because I am dairy-free (because my body makes me, not because I want to be) I like to add the coconut water to add a bit of hydration. I never really *taste* it, but it helps liquefy the smoothie so it doesn't become an ICE-cream type of smoothie.
Action shot! Go smoothie, go!
To make it feel fancy, add a slide strawberry to the top of your glass!

I love putting coconut water in my smoothies! It gives such a wonderful new dimension to the other flavors that's better than using just plain water. I think I have all of these ingredients on hand so I will definitely try this out in the next few days! :)
