Ingredients

• 1 heaping cup frozen strawberries*
• 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, nonfat**
• 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your choice milk)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp lemon zest

• 1 scoop Growing Naturals vanilla pea protein
  

• 2 small honey graham crackers (I used gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp chia seed (optional)

Topping (optional)

• A dollop of your choice whipped cream

Directions

1. Place all ingredients (except protein powder and graham crackers) in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Then add the protein powder and pulse until thoroughly mixed. Crumble the graham crackers and fold into the smoothie with a spoon or spatula. Enjoy!

Note

*You can use fresh strawberries instead, but you’ll want to add about 4-5 ice cubes to thicken the smoothie.
**Greek yogurt gives this smoothie that cheesecake-y tartness and adds a creamy texture, however, you can substitute with a dairy-free yogurt to make this a vegan recipe.
