So, I've begun using a chocolate whey powder called Lean MR by dotFit-- visit their site full of amazing fitness products-- and putting it into all of my smoothies as meal replacement, which is a convenient, healthy way to maintain or lose weight!
This is a smoothie I created Friday evening using frozen mixed berries from DOLLAR TREE!! If you live near a Dollar Tree store, please go visit their frozen food section! I was amazed!!
You'll Need:
1/2 Cup of mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
1 Cup of Almond Milk or 1% milk (I use almond milk when I want to save some calories)
5 ice cubes
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder (and I'm sure it's just as good if not better with vanilla protein powder). Like mentioned above, I am currently using Lean MR by dotFit.
1 teaspoon of sugar or your choice of sweetener
1 tablespoon of non fat vanilla yogurt
Combine all in a blender and blend for 20-30 seconds. I also put it on the ice grater setting for a few seconds. You can add more ice for more of a milkshake effect!
I kid you not though, this smoothie tasted as good as it looks!!! My husband was very impressed too!!
Very Berry Smoothie--and I am sorry it's sideways!! |
