Protein Fruit Smoothie Recipe
As you may know, I’m a big fan of breakfast! I just love breakfast and I think it’s the most important meal of the day, I cannot skip breakfast or I’ll feel “blah” throughout the whole day! Breakfast gives me energy and helps me go through the day so I rely on a good, filling, nutritious breakfast.
But sometimes I’m in a hurry (well…most times) as mornings are a big chaos around here. Between getting Ellie ready for school, packing her stuff, preparing breakfast for her and my morning coffee I barely have time to make some nice breakfast for myself. I try my best to but sometimes is just easier not to which is a big “No, No!” in my book.
But I have a back up plan, a lovely, tasty, super quick and nutritious smoothie idea. This protein fruit smoothie recipe is healthy, packed with protein and some of my favorite fruit and it only takes minutes to make, in between all the craziness going on in my house every morning.
Protein Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
- Protein Powder of choice – I like to use whey protein for the high essential amino acids
- Banana – use fresh or frozen. I like to use frozen fruit most times because I don’t have to add ice and the smoothie gets a slushy like texture.
- Strawberries – any berry would do but I prefer strawberries for their sweetness. Use fresh or frozen fruit.
- Yogurt – plain or vanilla
- Orange juice – I prefer freshly squeezed juice but sometimes I replace it with boxed apple juice.
- Honey – raw. Unprocessed honey is always the best option especially in recipes that don’t require heating the honey, preserving its properties.
- Ice cubes – optional, if you use fresh fruit.
- Fresh peppermint leaves – optional
How to make protein fruit smoothie:
- Simply blend all ingredients until no lumps left.
- If you like to add a little peppermint flavor, add a few fresh peppermint leaves to the blending process.
- Adding ice is optional!
