| What a healthy start to your day! ~ Strawberry Shortcake Protein Smoothie |
Just gotta say, I'm still having fun playing around with creating smoothies for my breakfast ~ it's such a fun way to start your mornings. Luckily for me, I have a bunch of different kinds of frozen fruit in the freezer. Right now I'm all out of spinach & don't feel like going to the market to get some more. So, I'm embracing various fruit smoothies, in all their glorious colors...all colors that is ~ except for the color green...at least until I get around to getting some more spinach. :) Enjoy!
Strawberry Shortcake Protein Smoothie
serves 1 1 cup fat free milk
1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt ( my fav is Dannon)
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
1/4 cup oatmeal, quick or old fashioned
1/3 frozen banana, sliced
6 whole frozen strawberries*, unsweetened
1 tblsp strawberry jam
3 packets Equal or favorite sweetener (or to taste)
4 ice cubes
~ put all in blender & blend until smooth & frosty
* you can use fresh strawberries if you'd like, the smoothie just won't be quite as 'frosty'
