4-Ingredient High Protein Smoothies

The lineup: strawberry banana, mango banana, and strawberry mango. Each one built from four ingredients, blended in under five minutes, and poured into two tall glasses. Frozen fruit does the heavy lifting on texture and temperature, Greek yogurt and protein powder bring the protein and creaminess, and orange juice ties everything together without thinning it out too much.

Thickness is the thing to protect here. Keep all the fruit frozen right up until it goes in, skip the ice, and let the blender run long enough to get everything completely smooth. The result should be dense enough that a regular straw is more of a suggestion than a tool. A wide straw, or a spoon, is the honest answer.
