I finally bought a blender and decided to try out some smoothie recipes. These are great for getting added nutrition and especially protein. They are so convenient considering you can just buy bags of frozen fruit and toss them in. I've been using them as meal replacements to get a flat stomach before my vacation :) . Here are two of my favorites:
Both of these make 2 -3 servings.
Strawberry-Peach Smoothie
2 cups fortified OJ
1 banana
2 cups fresh (or frozen) sliced strawberries
About 10 slices of frozen peaches
Two or three handfuls of ice
2 scoops of Strawberry Whey Protein (20g or protein per scoop)
Blend on smoothie setting of course and tweak it to your liking.
Reese's Cup Ice Cream Smoothie
(maybe more of a milkshake)
2 fresh bananas
1 or 2 cups of milk - organic soy or regular is fine
4 or 5 cups of Reese's Ice Cream - available in low fat
3/4 cup of any peanut butter
Chocolate syrup to taste
3 handfuls of ice
2 scoops of Vanilla Whey Protein
Blend
2 scoops of Vanilla Whey Protein
