Smoooooooooooothie! You're crazy if you don't like a smoothie! I have a smoothie at least 3-5 times a week. Usually before or after a workout. Satisfying! There are only 2 places in town that I will buy a $10 dollar smoothie.....but it is a rare occasion when I pay that much. So, I came up with a basic smoothie concept and you can do a little upgrading accordingly.

Basic ingredients needed | | |
You really only need 3 basic ingredients to start your smoothie. Unsweetened almond milk, frozen fruit, and pure protein powder. *Money saving tips: Buy your frozen fruit and almond milk from a Costco or something similar. Also, we get our pure protein powder from a bulk bin at our grocery store --pure whey protein and nothing else added in.
Next, just dump it all in.....blend away. Oh, guess I forgot to mention measurements. Eye ball it....ha! No, seriously....eye ball it. Usually about a cup of almond milk, cup of frozen fruit, and a scoop of protein. But, sometimes you need to add more almond milk or 1/4 cup of water to get it a little bit more on the liquid side. You will also need to adjust accordingly when you add your upgrades to the smoothie.
