Creamy Strawberry smoothie-Protein packed pregnancy smoothie!

Hello y'all!

Just had to share this strawberry smoothie that I love! I was craving something similar to a shake without the sugar! It's packed with protein and low carb! It's great for pregnant women who need all the protein and calcium that they can get! I am guessing that there is around 15 grams of protein roughly! Here it is-


Creamy Strawberry smoothie

1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup soy milk ( plain unsweetened)
2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (great value is a good brand)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon agave
Pinch of powdered stevia or to taste ( Nustevia is the best without the bitter taste)

Blend and enjoy! You can chill it in the freezer for a bit if you like it icier!

Substitutions -
I've been omitting the agave and just using stevia. Since its a good brand, it doesn't need the agave. Greek yogurt gives it a thicker consistency. It's also not too sour so it doesn't need a ton of sweetener. Your dad likes more of a citrus favor than creamy. So I've added orange juice instead of the milk. He loved it! 

Enjoy!
