Minutes to Prepare: 5

Number of Servings: 2

Ingredients

-1 serving of Whey Protein Powder, vanilla (nutritional information will vary depending on brand of powder used)

-2 cups of spinach leaves

-1 small banana

-1 cup of frozen blueberries

-1 cup 1% milk

-1 cup ice

add one tbsp of honey to sweeten if desired (not included in nutritional info)

Directions

**Using frozen blueberries helps lower the temperature of the smoothie making it more like a milk-shake.**
Dump spinach leaves in a blender first followed by the protein powder and milk. Add the remaining ingredients last to help weigh down the spinach.
Blend on high until shake-like consistancy is achieved.
ENJOY!

Makes about 24 oz. I drink the entire thing myself as a higher calorie post-workout breakfast, but makes plenty for two servings.
