{Recipe} Protein Smoothie

January 18, 2013 Comment : 1

I had such a craving for a nutrient-packed smoothie yesterday, so after a long yoga class, I found myself at the grocery store….impulsively buying too many fruits & veggies. Does this ever happen to you? I mean, I usually stick to a grocery list, because I’ve learned that I tend to buy too much and it ends up going bad before I use it. Oops. I’m going to do my best to incorporate all the extra produce into my meals this weekend!

I’ve been wanting to get into juicing, but alas, I don’t have a juicer – yet. So for now, smoothies it is. Here’s a recipe for a protein smoothie I threw together last night for dinner – it was delicious.
Protein Smoothie – makes approximately 16 ounces
  • 1/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/3 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach
  • 3/4 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder

Being the nutrition nerd that I am, I entered the recipe into MyFitnessPal to get nutrition facts. In case you wondered: one smoothie has 223 calories, 3g fat, 26g protein, 5g fiber, 515mg of potassium, and it’s 92% of your daily Vitamin C intake! Enjoy.

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
