Ingredients
1.5 cups Frozen Strawberries
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
2 tablespoons Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt (Plain)
1 teaspoon Pure Maple Syrup (Optional)
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon Almond Butter
Instructions
- Layer your liquids first: Pour the unsweetened almond milk and the Greek yogurt into your high-speed blender base
- Add the 'Shortcake' elements: Toss in the gluten-free rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, and almond butter
- Incorporate the fruit: Add the frozen strawberries on top of the other ingredients
- Blend until velvety: Secure the lid and start the blender on a low speed, gradually increasing to high for 45 to 60 seconds until smooth
- Check the consistency: Adjust thickness with more almond milk or frozen berries as needed
- Pour and garnish: Pour the mixture into a chilled glass and top with a slice of fresh strawberry and a sprinkle of crushed oats
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for thickness; if using fresh, add ice to maintain texture.
For a silkier texture, grind the oats into flour before blending.
A pinch of sea salt enhances sweetness.
