Another smoothie recipe here. Most people who read this blog know that I like to run. When training for races I try and carb load before workouts and protein load afterwards. One way I fill up on protein is by mixing vanilla whey protein into smoothies. I usually share my smoothies with BabyJ so I just give him his portion before I add in the whey protein. This smoothie doesn't have any milk, but is still creamy and delicious.
Strawberry Protein Smoothie
-1-2 cups frozen strawberries
-1-2 cups Fresh Pressed Tree Top Apple Juice (start with one cup and then add more if you don't want your smoothie thick.)
-1 scoop vanilla whey protein (if you're doing more strenuous training, you might want to add another scoop.)
-4 icecubes
-water (optional)
This ingredient list is probably confusing. Let me explain. If I'm sharing with another person, I add more strawberries. Sometimes I like a thicker smoothie, and sometimes it's nice to be able to drink it with a straw. If my smoothie winds up being too thick, I just add a little more apple juice or water to the smoothie. I added water to the ingredient list because you don't really need the liquid part to be completely apple juice. So, adjust your smoothie to your liking. It's hard to go wrong with these ingredients. Blend and enjoy!
