Top Tips when making Strawberry & Banana Protein Shake

Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen strawberries or banana slices make the shake extra thick and cold.

Choose the Right Protein: Vanilla or unflavoured protein powders pair best with the fruit.

Blend in Batches (if needed): If using lots of frozen fruit, blend in short pulses to avoid overworking your blender.

Add Extra Goodness: Boost with flaxseed, chia seeds, or a spoonful of nut butter for extra fibre and fats.

Sweeten if Desired: Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if your fruit isn’t sweet enough.
