Berries & Cream is one of the most classic summer flavor combos! It's sweet, smooth and — most importantly — refreshing in the heat.
This smoothie is just that, with an extra kick of strawberry and an addition of protein via Vital Performance™ Strawberry Protein ($29.99; shop now on vitalproteins.com) This secret ingredient gives the smoothie extra protein and a boost of collagen, all while keeping it lactose-free.
On top of the protein, this recipe calls for several good-for-you ingredients. The base of the smoothie is created with frozen strawberries, frozen raspberries and frozen cauliflower (which adds thickness). Plus, frozen berries actually pack in a ton of nutrients as they are typically picked in their prime and instantly frozen.
As for the cream — we didn't forget! Adding coconut yogurt to this already nutrient-packed smoothie adds a ton of probiotics, while making the texture extra creamy. (Hello, breakfast heaven!) Top the smoothie off with some extra yogurt or even dairy-free whipped coconut cream and you have your new favorite treat for the summer.
