Protein Smoothie This has been my go to smoothie lately as I'm trying to tone up for my wedding in October! I love this Garden of Life vanilla protein. It is a plant based protein with 17g of protein per scoop. I will say, by itself it tastes pretty chalky that's why I love this recipe I've created. Ingredients: 1 frozen banana 8.5 oz vanilla unsweetened almond milk 1 scoop of Garden of Life vanilla protein 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter (I like PB2 it has lower calories and fat than regular peanut butter) 1 tbsp of raw unsweetened dark cocoa powder 1/4 c rolled oats Optional: 1 tbsp hemp harts Preparation: 1. Put all ingredients into a blender 2. Blend 3. Enjoy! It is great for breakfast or immediately after your workout PB&Jams: Finery by @pennyandsparrow http://youtu.be/x5JSTClzGlU
