Ready to start your day right? Read on for Erica's simple protein shake recipe.
The recipe makes one large smoothie serving and is incredibly delicious. I drank one before a run and felt comfortably energized the whole time. Since the smoothie recipe calls for vanilla almond milk and vanilla protein powder, it's pretty sweet, so you may want to omit the Stevia drops or other added sweeteners.
The amount of calories and protein your smoothie contains depends on which brand of protein powder you use. The protein powder I used contains 70 calories and 15 grams of protein; see the smoothie's nutritional info with this protein powder below. Erica uses one scoop of Nature's Way Metabolic Reset (130 calories and 21 grams of protein per scoop).
