Protein Smoothies/Shakes Recipes


After going to the gym, Adam and I love making protein smoothies.  My parents have a Ninja and it is pretty awesome.  Here are some of my favorite recipes:

This is my absolute favorite protein shake:

Chocolate Covered Cherry 
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder (Advocare has protein powder but we like this kind)
handful of frozen cherries (I got mine at Trader Joe's, of course)
1 1/2 cups of fresh spinach (you can't even taste it and it is sooo good for you)
1 tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder (Trader Joe's brand, surprised?)

I drink this and think, how can this really be healthy and good?  Try this like yesterday!!


Strawberry Banana Protein Shake

1 cup of frozen strawberries (fresh strawberries are in season but don't get frozen strawberries with added sugar)
1 frozen banana
1 scoop of strawberry banana whey protein powder (vanilla protein powder will be fine also)
1 1/2 cups of fresh spinach 
1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk


Spinach and Banana Protein Shake

2 cups of fresh spinach
1-2 frozen bananas
1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk

(Don't knock it until you try it, spinach is soooo good for you and you can even taste it in the smoothie)
