I love smoothies. They're my go-to food choice for a post-workout replenisher, a snack when I'm in a hurry or as part of a meal. I go to school every day and sometimes I'm there for up to 7 hours. I'm always on the lookout for quick and healthy meals to take with me, especially since it's so easy to steer in the direction of a fast-food place or vending machines.
I made this earlier today. It was delicious! I tend to experiment a lot with the ingredients I put into a smoothie but this is probably one of my favorites.
What you'll need:
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (you can also use other variations of almond milk, skim milk, etc. Whatever you prefer!)
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder*
*Note: I use the brand Naturade Total Soy. I buy it at Sam's Club.
I use this brand because of the nutritional value as well as the taste. I can't complain about the price either. It's almost a 4lb bag for $20! I'm all about getting the best deal for my buck. :D
One of the wedding presents I received was a Ninja food processor and I love it! I've been using it obsessively since we got it last year. That's what I use to make all my smoothies.
Directions: Add all the ingredients to your food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
I like my smoothies to be cold and thick. If you don't like this type of consistency, use fruits that aren't frozen and add ice cubes instead.
Enjoy! :)
