I’ve had smoothie’s on the brain all week!  Even with the cold and rainy weather in Boston, I’ve been taking a smoothie with me everyday as a mid-morning snack.  They work great to tide me over to lunch…and give me some extra protein, fiber, and other nutrients that I am craving.

Chocolate Banana Smoothie

• 1 frozen banana
• 4 tbsp chocolate hemp protein powder
• 2 tbsp flaxseeds
• 1 cup 1% milk
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 3 tbsp oats

This was one thick smoothie, but it tasted great!

Mango Banana Smoothie

• 1 frozen banana
• 1 cup mango
• 1 cup pineapple
• 1 scoop vanilla sun warrior protein powder
• 1 cup plain greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp pepitas
• 1 heaping tbsp flaxseeds

This tasted delicious!!!

Berry-licious Smoothie

• 1/2 cup greek yogurt
• 1 cup hemp milk
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1 cup frozen berries (cherries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 2 tbsp flax seeds
• 1 tsp honey
• shake of cinnamon

Sometimes I like my smoothies very fruity and others I love more rich and creamy.  The beauty of a smoothie, is that you can make it any way you want!

They can contain just a few simple ingredients, or can be more complex to enjoy as a meal.

YUM!
