Introduction

This smoothie is delicious and perfect for post-workout. To reduce calories if you aren't working out, losing the protein powder will save you about 100. I freeze the banana, I think it makes it taste better. Also, you can increase or decrease the flax seed depending on how your body takes it. If you don't want to taste any fiber one pieces you can crush them before blending, but I like the little pieces of the cereal. This is a thick shake I eat with a spoon, the way I like it, but you could probably add ice cubes or more milk to make it thinner. This recipe combines good protein and fiber along with calcium and fruit, an overall healthy snack. Also, it keeps me full for a long time! This smoothie is delicious and perfect for post-workout.

    1/2 cup frozen unsweetened strawberries
    1/2 cup Dannon Light & Fit vanilla yogurt
    1/2 cup skim or low-fat milk
    1 scoop protein powder (I use Muscle Milk Light-Vanilla creme because I'm a woman and find it tastes good and is best for my lean muscle mass needs)

Directions

I blend everything together at once, adding the frozen ingredients to the bottom of the blender first.
