Print Recipe

A quick and nourishing smoothie blending fresh rhubarb, strawberries, Greek yogurt, and protein powder for a vibrant, slightly tangy, and creamy breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh rhubarb stalks, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ cup milk or dairy-free alternative (almond, oat, or regular milk)
  • A handful of ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 4 fresh rhubarb stalks under cold water, trim the ends, and chop into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  2. Hull and halve 1 cup of strawberries. If using frozen, no need to thaw—just toss them straight in.
  3. Add the chopped rhubarb, strawberries, 1 medium ripe banana, and 1 cup Greek yogurt into your blender. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds.
  4. Add 1 scoop of protein powder and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired. Pour in ½ cup milk or a dairy-free alternative. Blend again on high for 45 seconds or until smooth and creamy.
  5. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk—1 tablespoon at a time. For a colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend for 20 more seconds.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or banana. Blend longer if fibrous bits remain.
  7. Pour into a glass or travel cup and serve immediately.

Notes

If fresh rhubarb is unavailable, frozen rhubarb works well. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Adjust sweetness to taste. Avoid overblending to maintain creamy texture. Clean blender immediately after use to prevent dried residue.
