Pineapple Delight Smoothie

This tastes better than an Orange Julius! 

Ingredients:
1 scoop protein powder
2 bananas
2 c. frozen pineapple
3 c. OJ

King of Greens Smoothie

This is my version of Cafe Fresh's King of Greens. I think it comes pretty close.

Ingredients:
1 scoop protein powder (I prefer egg white protein)
1 t. wheatgrass powder
1 t. coconut oil
1 handful spinach
1 handful kale
1 1/2  bananas
1 c. frozen mango
1 c. frozen pineapple
2 drops lemon essential oil
2 drops lime essential oil
4 c. water kefir (or coconut water)

Blend until smooth, then stir in 2 T. chia seeds.

Green Protein Smoothie

You know that I love my protein shakes for breakfast, especially in the summer months. They are a great way to get lots of fresh produce and protein in to start your day off right. Plus, they really help me recover after a tough workout (like the 5 am spin class I went to this morning!). I love to add fruits AND veggies, but my family doesn't always love how veggie-ish they taste sometimes. The combo of banana & pineapple hides the massive amounts of spinach so well, you really don't even know it's in there. Well, besides the fact that it's green.

Ingredients:
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
1 small box (11 oz) coconut water
1/2 small frozen banana
1 giant handful of spinach
1 c. fresh pineapple

**This makes one serving**

Orange Julius Protein Shake

I came up with a new creation...and it's delicious! Tastes just like (ok, pretty close) an orange julius! And it's a great way to sneak in extra protein, or curb hunger between meals. I love me some protein shakes!

Ingredients:
1 c. almond milk
1/2 c. orange juice
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
Ice

Combine all ingredients in a blender & enjoy!
