Ingredients
-
One banana, medium (about 7"-8")
One cup orange juice
Strawberries (frozen, unsweetened, 6-8 berries)
Protein powder, vanilla flavored, one scoop
Directions
1. Pour one cup of orange juice in a blender.
2. Measure out one scoop (level) of vanilla protein powder and add to orange juice. You can use other protein powders other than soy-based ones. Also, I wouldn't use chocolate powder because it doesn't mix well with the taste of O.J. (though, of course, you may like that taste!).
3. Add 6-8 strawberries; I use frozen ones because they help make the smoothie nice and cold. You can use fresh ones if you have some available, and you can add more berries if you prefer.
4. Slice the banana and add the slices to the mixture in the blender. The banana is what makes the smoothie thick and frothy.
5. (Optional) Add a couple of ice cubes if you like it really cold.
6. Cover; slowly turn the dial (or push the buttons) from the lowest setting until you get to mix or blend (my blender goes from puree to whip to mix to blend). Mix/blend for about one minute (more or less depending on how smooth you like it).
7. Pour into mug/glass/cup.
Makes two servings of 8 ounces. Enjoy!!
Extra ingredients: Try other fruits and juices, or add yeast, wheat germ or flax seeds. If you want less calories, use light O.J. (or use 3/4 oz. O.J. and 1/4 oz. water). Add a second scoop of protein powder if needed/desired.
Other ingredients than those listed will change the nutrition info.
