As soon as the heat arrives, you feel the need for two things: freshness and lightness. And honestly… also something good to pamper me a little!
Whether it’s after a nice walk, a swim workout, or simply when I want a quick but nutritious snack, this protein smoothie with strawberries and Greek yogurt is always my first choice.
It’s made in no time, with simple and seasonal ingredients, and it’s perfect for those moments when you want something healthy but without sacrificing taste. Plus, it’s creamy, fresh, and truly tastes like summer.
Why do I love it?
Because it’s delicious, yet nutritious!
It gives me a boost after sports (or when I’m low on energy).
It’s super easy to make: just a blender and 5 ingredients.
I always customize it with whatever I have in the fridge or pantry!
Sometimes I drink it right after my swim workout, other times it’s my “time-saving” breakfast, or I sip it in the afternoon with some ice cubes and a good book.
