Recipe: Fruit Smoothie for Energy!
This is one of my favorite recipes. It’s so easy to adapt for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack, and it keeps me full for a few hours. It also has an added benefit of containing at least two servings of fruit and two of dairy.
The two products referenced in the recipe, PB2 and EAS, are both available online. You can substitute whatever protein powder you like, but I’ve found these to be the best for me. My previous post has ordering info if you’d like it.
Breakfast Smoothie:
1 banana
1 container Activia yogurt
2 Tbsp PB2
1 scoop EAS vanilla whey powder
1 cup water
ice if desired
Blend all ingredients until frothy. Add more water if needed.
Lunch Smoothie:
1 cup frozen (without sugar) berries, mangoes, peaches, or a combination
1 cup nonfat milk (soy is fine, or even water)
1 scoop EAS vanilla whey powder
ice to taste
1 packet Splenda if desired
Blend all ingredients until frothy. Add more water if needed.
Snack Smoothie:
1 scoop EAS vanilla whey powder
1 cup nonfat milk (or soy)
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 sprinkle cinnamon
ice to taste
Blend all ingredients until frothy. Add more water if needed.
On-The-Go Smoothie:
1 scoop EAS vanilla or chocolate whey powder
1 cup water
Mix in a shaker jar or use a stick blender to mix quickly. I occasionally have this as a fast pick-me-up if I am heading out for a workout and don’t have time to eat properly and digest before the gym.
