protein shakes

FOW-should put some of that ice cream in it, now that would be bomb!

4-5 frozen strawberries
2 tblsp Plain greek yogurt
1 tblsp Peanut butter
1 cup Almond milk
1 scoop vanilia protien powder

about 350 cal

Pumpkin Smoothy

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (40 Calories)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp flax seed
1 Tbsp chia seed
1/2 to 1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin spice
1 8 oz. glass of ice

Fruit Smoothy

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (40 Calories)
1 scoopvanilla protein powder
1 tbsp flax seed
1 Tbsp chia seed
1 cup strawberries, blueberries & raspberries
1 8 oz glass of ice

Peanut Butter Smoothy

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (40 Calories)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1 bananna
1 Tbsp flax seed
1 Tbsp chia seed
1 8 oz glass of ice

I have them for breakfast every morning. They fill me up until lunch time. The Peanut Butter Smoothy has more calories so
I only have it occasionally.

I used to put tons of crap in my protein shakes, but these days I like to keep it simple:

-8oz Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (Silk Brand)
-1 scoop vanilla protein powder
-1 tbsp flax seed
-1/2 banana

I love spirutein powders - it's a rice/pea/soy blend. It comes in a million delicious flavors. I mix mine with soy milk. The power itself has about 100 calories. I avoid the whey ones because I can't tolerate whey, but the other ones are delicious. Also gluten free for those interested.

1 cup yogurt
1 cup frozen fruit
(fresh fruit like bananas, pineapple, mango, etc whatever you like)
2 scoops protein powder
1 cup milk/juice/liquid

Mix and match to your preferences.

I'm really into Kale smoothies at the moment, I have one every day mid-morning:

1 cup (tightly packed) kale
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop vanilla whey isolate powder (Kazein brand)
1 kiwi, skin removed
1/2 banana

The kiwi really neutralizes the strong bitter flavour of the kale. Love it!!!

If you like the taste of peanut butter, this one is great:

One serving (2 Tbsp) peanut butter
One scoop vanilla flavor protein powder
2 or 3 cups of raw Spinach or Kale

It's only 360 calories and, despite the spinach/kale and those nutrients, all you taste is peanut butter.

I use:
1 heaping scoop optimum nutrition casein protein
8oz skim milk
1 medium banana
1 tbsp reduced fat peanut butter
Use blender and enjoy
