Ingredients
- Ice cubes
- 1 cup
- Honey
- 1 tablespoon (or to taste)
- Almond milk
- 1 cup (unsweetened or sweetened)
- Vanilla protein powder
- 1 scoop (approximately 30g)
- Fresh rhubarb
- 1 cup, chopped
- Frozen strawberries
- 1 cup
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the fresh rhubarb. Wash it thoroughly, remove the leaves (as they are toxic), and chop the stalks into small pieces.
- In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, chopped fresh rhubarb, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, honey, and ice cubes.
- Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add a bit more almond milk until desired consistency is reached.
- Taste the shake and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed.
- Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- For added nutrition, consider throwing in a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost without altering the taste significantly.
- For a creamier texture, you can use a banana or Greek yogurt in place of some of the almond milk.
- If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
