Green Protein Shake

Protein shakes are the best...as long as your protein doesn't taste really gross (my last bag was awful). I just bought some new protein, Dymatize Elite Gourmet French Vanilla, and I am loving it. It works well in baking and doesn't leave me with protein mouth an hour after eating it.

Your body needs protein to recover from workouts. Protein will help you feel full more quickly and for longer periods of time (this is awfully helpful if you struggle with portion control). Also, protein shakes are great meal replacements (not every meal...) because they are fast and flexible...plus, they kinda taste like dessert. Yum. So, here is my staple shake, that I love...

Green Protein Shake

1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

1 Scoop Protein Powder

1 Tbs Golden Flax Seed

2.5 cups Spinach

1 Tbs Peanut or Almond Butter

1/2 Medium Banana

Add to ingredients in order to blender, blend, and enjoy!  

P.S. I like to add 1/4 cup of oats with the protein powder when I have my shakes for breakfast....you will be full for hours:)
