Creamsicle Protein Shake!

A yummy Creamsicle Shake was created in my kitchen this morning.  (Ok let's face it, I wanted the same pineapple orange shake I had yesterday but I was out of Pineapple!) -- but this turned out to be quite the creation -- so here you go!! 

1oz Trop 50 Orange Juice

7oz Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk

2 scoops Naturade Soy Meal Replacement - Vanilla

8-10 icecubes

Combine all ingredients in blender - ice on bottom - and blend until smooth.  Stick a straw in it and enjoy the goodness! ;)

Strawberries & Cream Smoothie Scrumptiousness!

Ok, maybe I made up that word - Scrumptiousness. But it sounds good, right?

Today's creation tastes almost like one of those Strawberry Cream Savers - and who doesn't like those?! It's super low in calories and fat - has tons of protein - and would make a fantastic post workout recovery snack!  But I'm having my smoothie as a pre-workout/afternoon snack.

1/4 Cup Fat Free Cottage Cheese

1/2 Scoop Protein Powder (I used Syntrax Nectar Sweets Vanilla Bean Torte)

1tsp Sugar

5-10 pieces of ice

1/2-1 cup Water

1 Sugar Free Jell-O Vanilla Pudding Cup

4 Frozen Strawberries

I like to mix the ingredients in blender with ice on bottom - since that's where the blades are so it usually works a bit better, and I like to add the water last. Blend until smooth. Makes a pretty large smoothie!

A lot of people I know would be questioning the Cottage Cheese.  DON'T!  It helps make the smoothie nice and thick, almost more like a shake, and you can't taste it at all!  Plus it's got tons of protein!

Vanilla Frosty Fake-Out!

Just happened upon something great!  And it tastes like a Vanilla Frosty! 

2 Scoops Visalus Vi-Shape Sweet Cream Shake Mix

drizzle of honey

ice

1/2 cup water (could use skim milk or soy/almond milk if you like - would probably make it even creamier)

 *I also added a Fiber Supplement that mixes in - flavorless. 

mix all items in a blender.  Enjoy!  

The perfect sweet treat!
