Blueberry, Spinach & Protein Shake Smoothie (Don't knock it, until you try it!)



My friend came up with this recipe. I'm not sure what possessed her to do this, but it's pretty dang good! Don't knock it until you try it!
This is a great recovery run protein shake, quick breakfast or lunch... or even a snack!

What you will need:
8 oz of Milk and/or Water (I use half of each)
1/2-3/4 Cup of fresh or frozen Blueberries
1/2 Cup of fresh or frozen spinach (You can buy a bag and throw it in the freezer)
1/4- 1/2 Cup of Ice
1 Scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder

How to make it:
I add the Milk and/or Water, Spinach, Blueberries, Ice and Protein Powder. Today, I added 1/2 a banana (Nanette, just ignore this part) . If you wanted, you could add any other fruit you would like.
Blend (for a good min or two) and serve.

Enjoy!

  2. I don't taste it. Just make sure you blend it well, and sometimes you have to shake it up a bit (spin it around in the cup, to mix it up).
    The blueberries really bring out the flavor. Yum! Plus, it's really good with the EAS Vanilla protein powder!
