Creamy Strawberry Smoothie

This luscious smoothie is made creamy with avocado, and is so refreshing and satiating from the strawberries, banana, and plant-based protein powder!

I bought a new protein powder the other day, and have been trying it out in various smoothies. I usually don’t tamper with that kind of thing, I find that I meet my protein quota pretty easily most days; but, I figured it’s on sale and raw, and slightly cheaper than Vega. So, why the hell not? The first time I tried it, I put it into a banana almond butter smoothie. I used a full scoop and once I took a sip I was immediately taken aback by how grainy it was. Because I’m not used to this sort of thing, I guess it could have been worse. But, there’s not flavor to it, so as long as I use a half scoop in my mega smoothies, I’m good to go.

Of course, in this smoothie, you don’t need to use protein powder; it’s just an option! In this delightful breakfast smoothie we have sweetly ripe banana, deep red strawberries, a delicious orange for some acidity, avocado for luscious creaminess and adorable sprouts. Yes, I did just call sprouts adorable. Have you really looked at them? They are so cute and tiny! I almost feel bad for eating them, almost. 😉

I added ice to this smoothie, but you could most definitely use a frozen banana and frozen strawberries to keep it cold. This smoothie will keep you full and satisfied for quite some time, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it as a snack; it’s a meal (for me at least).

Awesome smoothie recipe. I haven't used sprouts in my smoothies before, but will definitely give it a try. For a super smooth, no-grit, protein, check out Sun Warrior. It's my favorite and is raw vegan.
