Gone Bananas Smoothie

I have a smoothie obsession. They never get old as long as I mix things up a little. I happen to have some perfectly ripe bananas and decided to make this smoothie after my workout.

It's pretty delicious, and I definitely recommend adding the cinnamon and vanilla extract. If you want it a little more sweet (maybe your bananas aren't very ripe), you can add stevia for extra sweetness.

Protein Banana Craze

Iced coffee makes me CRAZY, and I'm BANANAS over protein smoothies and shakes. It's about time I made a coffee banana protein shake! Try this one out!!!

My favorite protein shake right now:

1 cup coffee
1/4 c almond milk
1 banana
1 tbsp almond butter

Blend and enjoy!

Vacation Morning Smoothie

It is hard to get greens in your diet when traveling, so I make sure to pack some treats in my bag in order to make sure I have healthy options. In my post a few days ago I mentioned some of my groceries I bring, and today I used a lot of them! Try this recipe, or make one with different ingredients that you enjoy!

• Feel free to add a whole banana, or switch up the banana with any other desired fruit.
• The protein powder I used today is called Dale's and you can buy it here.
