Breakfast Smoothies

Robert and I usually have 1-2 of these a day...because they're awesome, that's why.


This is a simple, yet healthy way to start your day. We also enjoy these after a workout or as a meal replacement. I will be drinking LOTS of these this week! 


If you do not have protein powder that you enjoy, I would love to recommend Jillian Micheal's Vanilla Whey Protein. You can find it at Sam's, Wal Mart, and other fine retailers...


The protein has a fairly low amount of calories, but adds an enormous amount of protein to your diet. Whenever I feel sluggish, one of these shakes puts a little pep in my step. 


Ingredients:


Fresh or frozen fruit
* we literally use ALL fruit that works well with vanilla-strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, kiwi, banana, mango...and the list goes on and on and on. 


Protein powder 
* For a snack or after workout I use 1 scoop. For a meal replacement, I use 2 scoops.


Up to 1 C of Water (NOT MILK OR YOGURT OR JUICE..what, do you WANT to add more calories??)


A blender-you need a really good one because you'll use this often




How To:


Well...dump everything in the blender and go at it.


If the fruit is fresh you may want to stick this in the fridge for a while. If it's frozen fruit you're good to go right away. 




The results: 


Well, I've already told you that we drink these on a daily basis. It gives us an excellent source of protein and several servings of fruit for the day. 


GREAT for post-workouts!!
