Recipe: Blueberry Vanilla Protein Smoothie

Hi All!  Continuing to feed my body the smoothies, green juice and healthy food it is craving in my third trimester.  I was in search of a blueberry protein smoothie, and this one hit the spot.  Like last time, I’ve included the nutritional info so you are more aware of what you are consuming.  And like last time, please remember to have a balanced diet by looking at what you eat the rest of the day and getting the rest of your vitamins and nutrients from there.

Recipe (16 ounces)

• 1 cup almond milk
• ¾ of a frozen banana
• 1/3 of a cup frozen blueberries (you can use fresh, I just like froze as it makes my smoothie cold right away and you don’t lose any of the nutritional benefits)
• 8 tablespoons vanilla protein powder (I used Trader Joe’s Vanilla Whey Protein Powder)
• 2 tablespoons almond butter

Preparation

Take all of the ingredients and mix in your blender.  If you happen to have some shredded coconut left over from the last smoothie recipe (Banana Chocolate Coconut) go ahead and sprinkle some on top!  That easy!
