Directions:
-
Start by gathering all your ingredients: soymilk powder, nonfat milk, plain fat-free yogurt, fresh strawberries, bananas, and ice cubes.
-
In a blender, add 2 tablespoons of soymilk powder. This plant-based protein source adds a creamy texture and a nutritional boost to your punch.
-
Pour in 1/2 cup of nonfat milk. This adds a touch of creaminess without the extra fat.
-
Add 1/2 cup of plain fat-free yogurt. Yogurt not only enhances the creaminess but also adds a tangy flavor profile.
-
Slice up 1/2 a ripe banana and add it to the blender. Bananas provide natural sweetness and a creamy texture to the punch.
-
Prepare 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries by hulling and halving them before adding them to the blender. Strawberries are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, adding a burst of flavor and nutrition to the punch.
-
Toss in 1 1/2 ice cubes to chill and thicken the punch. This step is essential for achieving the perfect texture and temperature.
-
Secure the blender lid tightly and blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. This should take about a minute, depending on the power of your blender.
-
Once the mixture is smooth, it’s ready to be served. Pour it into a tall glass, garnish with a strawberry or banana slice if desired, and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors and nutrients in Nordine’s Power Punch.

Sip and savor the deliciousness of this nutrient-packed beverage, perfect for starting your day on a healthy and energized note. Whether enjoyed at breakfast, as a midday snack, or post-workout refresher, Nordine’s Power Punch is sure to become a favorite in your household.
