Healthy Protein Smoothies



     
                               (  click  to go to this  link  > Healthy Protein Smoothies  )


This is what we enjoy for breakfast almost every day; a protein, fruit and nutrition-packed smoothie. Smoothies are creamy, taste delicious and are easy to make in a high-speed blender. Customize it for your taste and dietary preferences. If you want to make the homemade almond milk, start by soaking the almonds a day ahead. Follow the link above for my recipe. Servings: 1 (about 2 1/2 cups or 600 ml)

       Ingredients
  • 10-12 ounces (300-350 ml) of homemade almond milk (recipe here), or soy, rice, oat, cow or other milk
  • 1 scoop protein powder (we use Jay Rob vanilla whey for 25 grams of protein per scoop)
  • 1 small banana
  • 1/2  cup (62 grams) of frozen berries
  • 2 tablespoons (10 grams) of fiber (optional, I use the generic Target brand Up & Up)
  • 1 teaspoon of omega 3 oil (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (3 grams) of acai powder (optional)
    Directions
  1. Blend together at high speed in a blender and enjoy right away. If it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk
