Roasted Strawberry Protein Smoothie
Roasted strawberries in this protein packed smoothie brings out their amazing natural flavor, made with creamy cottage cheese and added chia seeds – what a great way to start the day!
Roasted Strawberry Protein Smoothie
I love healthy smoothies to start off my day. A few of my favorites are Chia Watermelon Fresco, Superfood Smoothie (Kale, Banana, Hemp, Chia), and Very Berry Banana Fro-yo Shake.
I discovered a new way to add protein to my smoothies… cottage cheese! This is a great discovery for me because I’m not a fan of the tang of yogurt in my smoothies. Cottage cheese makes it creamy with no tang, and has more protein than yogurt so it’s perfect! I also love adding chia seeds to my smoothies which is an excellent source of fiber and omega-3’s which is available at Target.
I’m sooo excited to review my new Vitamix blender for the first time. Wow, what power this blender has. And guess what… it’s now available at Target! And Target is giving one away to a lucky winner!! All you have to do is leave a comment here and share your favorite smoothie recipe along with a way I can reach you if you win (email, twitter, Instagram). That’s it, easy!! Good luck!!
RULES: Giveaway is provided by Target and the Target Inner Circle and will run

and older. A winner will be chosen at random using Random.org. Chosen
winner must respond within 48 hours of notification to claim their prize

My favorite is protein powder, almond milk and frozen strawberries and blue berries. I am sure it would taste better blended with a Vitamix! [email protected]
I love apple, pineapple, spinach, chia seeds and some lemon grass juice. with my current blender I always end up with some unappetizing chunks in my smoothie. I know what a new Vitamix would truly make my favorite drink a smooth smoothie. 🙂
My fave smoothies are protein powder, almond milk, frozen cherries (the BEST fruit for smoothies), and sometimes some peanut butter powder and agave. Super yum! Sometimes I throw in Spinach too.

All of your recipes are so brilliant. Your all information is very well founded and presented in such a convincing way. I have found many blogs on this subject, but by far, yours is the best. Regards for sharing.
Does anyone think it's a bad idea to post your email for anyone to see? Seems like this would make a prime opportunity for someone to run a phishing scam by sending emails telling people they've won.
I like a simple green smoothie. % cups of spinach, coconut milk, a banana, and frozen mixed berries.
Baby spinach, banana, frozen strawberries, greek yogurt, hemp seeds and frozen bluberries.

One of my favorite, more unusual smoothies is an orange/beet smoothie. Take an entire peeled orange and a chopped beet and blend it with water, ice, and sweetener (optional). It's SUPER healthy, a beautiful color, and such a unique taste!

This was so good. I loved how roasting the strawberries made them taste so much more intensely…strawberry-ey! lol I added a frozen banana instead of using ice. My husband and 4 y/o loved it too!
Do you think you could freeze the roasted strawberries in their juice for smoothies etc later? Strawberries are a great price right now but I'm always battling freezer burn when I just pop them in freezer bags. I thought this might help them last longer and then I could do a bunch without having to roast them for every smoothie.
I love anything I can sneak veggies into so I don't have to eat them 🙂 My daughter and I are loving strawberry/spinach smoothies! @[email protected]
Clementines, pineapple, spinach, chia seeds and ice 🙂

Hi!
Just a question about the "1-1/2 cups fresh strawberries" part: does that mean "one and a half cups", or "one to one-half cup"?!
Thanks!
