Chocolate Covered Blueberry Smoothie

My body asked for berries today so I tried something new. It turned out really nice but I think bananas and peanut butter powder will stay the smoothie champ for now.

The mix:
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 scoop chocolate raw veg protein
1/2 scoop raw veg powder
1/8 cup cocoa
1/2 tbsp raw honey
1 cup flax milk

Calories: 271

Recovery and Breakfast

After a long paddleboard workout Saturday, I used the chocolate protein mix in a smoothie with lunch in hopes for a fast recovery. It did seem to help.
This morning, I added a tbsp of peanut powder and had a smoothie breakfast.
Mixing:
1 cup Flax milk
1 scoop raw chocolate protein
1 banana
4 ice cubes

363 calories (200 from banana)

I'm using Flax milk this week because it is good and the shop I went to had it and not almond milk.

PB2 Chocolate Protein Smoothie

PB2 is a great way to add peanut butter to a smoothie without adding the oil. I started with a handful of ice for some thickness, then added:
1 cup almond milk
1 packet of protein mix
2 tbsp PB2

Soooo good! 8)

Almond Milk Protein Smoothie

Today, I broke in my new and fabulous blender. I put some frozen mixed berries in and used the chop ice function. Then I added 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened Almond milk. It was still too thick, so I poured in 1/2 cup of coconut water. A scoop of berry flavored veg protein mix finished it off. It made 2 glasses. According to the app I am using, each glass is about 169 calories.
Enjoy!
