Apple & Banana Protein Shake

Posted on January 5th, 2009.

When I’m in a rush, I LOVE mixing up a protein shake so I can fill up on something healthy rather than grabbing an unhealthy alternative. Of course, there is no substitute for good old HEALTHY foods like fruits and vegetables, so 95% of the time I add at least one of these to my shake. 

 

One little trick I learned a long time ago was that you can add spinach to a chocolate protein shake and it still tastes fabulous! Even though it’s a strange green color, they didn’t seem to mind it one bit. Just the other day, my kids hadn’t had as many fruits as they normally get in a day, so I created this little protein shake recipe and it was very yummy! They thought it was a treat!

 

In a blender, add:

1 cup milk

1/2 apple

1/2 banana

1 tablespoon flaxseed oil

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

5-6 ice cubes

 

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
