For a quick meal/snack on a hot day a frozen smoothie hits the spot! Here is my favorite mix:
Variations: Try different fruit combinations to get different flavors. I will often substitute an orange for the pineapple. You can vary the amount of water to make it thicker or thinner (drinkable or scoopable). Use a fancy glass to make it that much more special!
Notes: I don't add milk to my smoothies - due to lactose intolerance and to keep the calories down. Also by not adding milk these shakes can travel better without having to be worried about spoilage. I may vary the amount of protein powder depending on whether it is a snack or a meal replacement for me that day. If it is late in the day and my protein intake and/or fat intake is very low I am more likely to add both of these or increase the amount.
- ½ banana
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup frozen pineapple
- 1 - 2 serving of my favorite protein powder (optional)
- Water for thinning it to desired consistency
- 1 -3 teaspoons Flax oil (optional)
