Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen strawberries, chocolate protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter (if using), honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
-
Adjust Consistency: Blend everything until smooth. If the shake is too thick, add a little more almond milk or water to reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
-
Taste and Adjust: Taste the shake and adjust sweetness, adding more honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend again to incorporate.

Notes
- You can use any type of protein powder you prefer (whey, plant-based, etc.).
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut or cashew yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- To make this shake even more like a dessert, add a few dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs on top for added texture.
- If you prefer a lower-calorie option, reduce the amount of sweetener or use a zero-calorie sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
