Quick Protein Smoothie


I love this on days that I'm doing a really tough workout. High in protein and energizing. Avoid using whey and soy protein powders. These are dairy based and therefore acid-forming and difficult to digest. Instead, use organic hemp, brown rice, sprouts or split pea proteins. These are plant-based, easy to digest and used efficiently.

2 c unsweetened almond milk, water or a combination of the two.
2-3 T hemp protein (or your preferred protein powder)
1-2 T chia seeds
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t vanilla
1/2 banana
1/2-3/4 c frozen mixed berries
opt: dash or two of stevia

Blend and enjoy!
