Mix Up That Protein Drink...
Here are some smoothie ideas... this is especially good if your like me and can't stand protein drinks/powders.... using unflavored protein, the fruit completely mask's the nasty protein after taste/flavor:
-----------------------------------------
Lemon Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie
1 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
1 scoop unflavored protein powder
1/2 cup lite orange juice
1 & 1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 cup crushed ice
1 T. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
Combine all in blender until smooth.

Colossal Cranberry Smoothie

1 1/2 cups lite Cran-Raspberry Juice
2 cups frozen mixed berries
1 1/2 cups nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt
2 scoops unflavored protein powder

---------------------------------------------
Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie
8 oz skim milk
1/3 small banana
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
2 packets of splenda
