Mixed Berry Protein Smoothie

Mixed Berry Protein Smoothie

Now that summer is here there will be plenty of access to fresh fruit however I always use the frozen stuff for smoothies because it helps thicken the drink rather than being watered down.

This is an easy recipe that I constantly make after I workout or for a snack and never really measure.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of frozen wild blueberries
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1 fresh banana
6oz of yogurt (not the sugary stuff)
1 scoop of high quality protein powder (I use Hammer Nutrition)
water

Preparation:
Add everything to the blender and maybe 3/4 cup of water. Blend until thoroughly smooth and continue to add water for desired consistency.

Great for summer and hot weather, and for a post-workout recovery drink!!
