The main add-in people choose is, of course, Strawberries. There is an argument of what is better to use, fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries. I am always in favor of using the freshest ingredients possible, but I do think the frozen strawberries make a much better add-in choice for shakes. Decent fresh strawberries, depending on where you live and what time of year it is, can be extremely expensive and hard to find. Frozen strawberries on the other hand are available at just about every big grocery out there, so they are easy to find and can last much longer than fresh strawberries. Honestly, any strawberries you can find will greatly enhance any shake recipe you add them to. Check out the full list below of the Top 5 ingredients for Strawberry protein shake recipes.
The other popular ingredient in strawberry protein shake recipes is banana. Bananas have numerous health benefits and works as a great add-in for strawberry protein shakes and smoothies. Bananas are high in potassium and help regulate blood sugar as well as blood pressure. They also help aid in food digestion and can help boost mood and energy levels. Any shake recipe can benefit when adding a banana to the mix. Since bananas have so many benefits, it works great when adding it to a pre workout or post workout shake.
Top 5 Strawberry Protein Shake Add-ins:
1. Banana
Strawberry and banana have always been a great flavor combination. These are just ingredients that just seems to pair well with each other and add a balance to your protein shake.
2. Real Strawberries
Adding real strawberries (preferably frozen) seems to help add a more natural flavor to the strawberry protein mix that, depending on the protein type, can be a little harsh on the taste buds.
3. Chocolate Syrup
Who doesn't love chocolate covered strawberries? Adding a little chocolate syrup (sugar free if you want to be good) to your protein shake adds an extra layer of flavor to your shake and also thickens it up a little in the process.
4. Yogurt
More specifically, Greek Yogurt. Greek yogurt is thicker and a little tangier that regular yogurt. It will definitely thicken your Protein shake and give an extra flavor that, depending on what flavor greek yogurt you add, can be a little reminiscent of cheesecake.
5. Coconut
Coconut is a great ingredient in any flavor protein shake. Using coconut milk or coconut cream in you shake can add some much needed richness to an otherwise bland recipe. It also works adding a little shredded coconut to the shake as well.
