High protein smoothie WITHOUT protein powder!

I found this on the back of a bag of powdered skim milk (well, I modified it a bit - replaced regular yogurt with Greek yogurt & added some splenda) - if my calculations are right it has 41g protein & 330 calories.  It's a little high in calories so I think I will reserve this for days where I am travelling.

Skim Milk Powder Smoothie:

In blender mix:
couple of ice cubes
1/2 c water
1/4 c powdered skim milk
2 tb splenda
1 c greek yogurt
1/2 c fruit


lmk what you think!

Hi Angie, looks yummy but where are all your calories coming from?

1 c Greek Yogurt = 146 cal - 26 g protein
1/4 c powder skim = 90 cal - 9 g protein
1/2 c fruit = ?

I'll give it a try,

Thanks Nadine!!  I cut the recipe from the package in half, but when calculating the nutritional values of the skim milk powder, I doubled it instead of halving it - I like this even more now!  :)  If anyone improves on it please let me know!    :)

Thanks Angie, that sounds really good.  I hate the protein shakes and they are so full of chemicals so this is a nice healthy option. 

I'll try it. :)

I was getting really - REALLY - tired of the taste of the protein powders too.  The suggestions for fruit on the bag were strawberry/banana or peach/mango - I just used mixed frozen fruit & it was quite nice.
