Recipe: Smooooothie

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.
