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!
