Instructions

Pour the milk and vanilla extract into a blender.
Add the vanilla protein powder, frozen banana, fresh hulled strawberries, and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed for 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the shake into a large glass and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Tips

Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess; freezing it beforehand keeps the shake chilled without watering it down.
Add a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to amplify the vanilla flavor and complement the strawberries and banana naturally.
