My New Protein Smoothie Recipe
This week I had some left over ingredients and like I normally do with left overs, I decided to experiment a little. I first learned how to make protein smoothies about 15 years ago while working at a health food store. The store had a juice and smoothie bar and I would frequently work that area of the store.
One of the most important things I learned while working there is that most berries and fruits make a good mix for smoothies as long as you use some kind of vanilla flavoring. So what I tried this week was some frozen strawberries, pineapple juice, and vanilla protein powder.
This smoothie was so good that I've been hooked on it for the last week. One thing that you do have to watch out for, especially if you're trying to burn fat and lose weight is the amount of pineapple juice that you use. It's a bit high in sugar(carbohydrates) so I would suggest only using 6 -8 ounces. You can add some water if you want your smoothie to be a thinner. Anyway, give it a try and let me know what you think. Also feel free to add any protein smoothie recipes you might have in the comment section.
