Blueberry Burst Protein Shake

The first day of fall is next week!  I love fall and winter but I am also sad to see all of the yummy (in-season) fruit go!  Use up all of those blueberries before summer is over!  This shake is delicious and very easy to make!  It is similar to our Berrylicious Protein Shake but the pea protein gives it an awesome flavor!

Clean Eat Recipe :: Charged Mocha Protein Shake

This is definitely a go-to shake for those early mornings where you just don't feel like putting together a full breakfast and you're having a tough time waking up (which, for me, happens to be most mornings). To get an energy boost I throw in a packet of Starbucks Via (R)  ready brew coffee and for some extra dietary fiber I add flax because the shake is so delicious you won't even taste it!

Berrylicious Breakfast Smoothie

A crazy thing happened in our house a few days ago...I ran out of bananas!  I went bananas (haha!) because I could not make my favorite protein shake from Oxygen Magazine so I just threw together some ingredients we had on hand.  It turned out to be one of my favorite protein shakes!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of mixed berries (I use an organic frozen blend of raspberries, blackberries & blueberries from Costco)
• 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
• 6 oz of unsweetened almond milk
• 4 oz of liquid egg whites (make sure they are 100% egg whites, pasteurized)
• 1 Tbsp natural peanut butter or almond butter

Directions:

1. Blend all ingredients.

2. Enjoy!

• He & She Tip: For those of you who do not want or need the extra fat in your shake...I tried this one recently without the peanut butter & used chocolate protein powder instead of vanilla & it was just as good!
