Strawberry Banana Protein Shake

I am so excited to share with you our family’s favorite breakfast/post workout treat.  I usually just throw things in the blender and taste it until I like it, but today I measured the ingredients out, so I could share the recipe with all of you!

This recipe requires few ingredients and is SO easy/quick to make! I love that I can put it together quickly for Mike to take to school and I can sip on it while chasing the kids around (because let’s be honest being a mom means no sit-down breakfast or lunch)! I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do and feel free to add or take out ingredients to fit your own needs:).

  1. Pour 1 cup of Almond milk (or whatever milk you have in the fridge)

2. Place 3 cups of frozen strawberries in the blender.

3. One frozen banana (you can use a non-frozen banana but it doesn’t make it as creamy)

4. Add 1 cup of ice cubes and blend until smooth.

**I then put some in a small cup for my 22 month old son before adding the last ingredient.  You can also throw in some avocado, spinach or kale to sneak in some veggies!

5. Add 1 scoop of protein powder and blend. *We get this vanilla whey protein and right now it is $8 off a bag at Costco! It has 27 grams of protein a serving and is on sale until the end of the month! The best part is, one bag seems to last FOREVER!
