• The best way to make this smoothie is in a super blender.
• Don't have a super blender like Vitamix? Go with soft fresh strawberries instead of icy frozen ones.
• When I buy fresh strawberries, I keep them in the freezer if I'm not going to eat them right away. Frozen strawberries make the smoothie thicker.
• I always recommend organic strawberries whenever possible.
• I enjoy a light foamy smoothie. But some folks don't care for the bubbles. Without getting really sciency, when pure protein isolate is vigorously shaken the proteins coagulate in a structure that holds onto air bubbles.
If you'd rather have a smooth drink, mix your water, yogurt, and strawberries in your blender first and pour into a tall glass. Then add your protein powder and stir with a spoon until dissolved. It mixes in pretty quickly.
• There are tons of ways that you can customize this smoothie. Will you swap out the strawberries for blueberries or raspberries? Or go ahead and add a variety of berries. Nuts or seeds make a nice addition, too.
• If you need to make this ahead you can keep it in the fridge. However, it may separate so give it a stir. It's best to drink right away.
