Enjoy this high protein smoothie post-workout or anytime you need a quick meal disguised as a sweet treat. Tastes like pistachio ice cream! You won’t miss the lactose.

Try the Grinch, a nutrient loaded smoothie great for boosting immunity, fighting colds and downing veggies when you may not want to eat them. Helluva lot tastier than V8!

A basic strawberry-banana protein smoothie.

Frappuccinos taste fantastic but they’re loaded with fat, sugar and empty calories. Whip it up at home to save money and calories. Espresso machine not necessary. Caffeine, calcium, potassium, omegas…yum!

I hope you’ll find the “Pre-Workout Smoothie” recipe below useful not only before a workout, but also after a workout, for breakfast, sweet fix, or anytime you’re starved and short on time. It provides a good balance of natural protein and carbs, antioxidants and optional caffeine for those needing to perk up.
