COVERT COMPOSITIONS

Protein Smoothies

Smoothie Base  (approximately 330 cal)

3 oz plain greek yogurt  (approx 50 cal)
½ cup light plain silk milk (approx 50 cal)
½ scoop vanilla whey protein powder  (approx 100 cal) – I use Jay Robb
1 Tbsp flaxseed mill (approx 30 cal) and/or chia seeds
1 small banana (approx 100 cal)

Then add some of the below combination to the base to make an awesome, filling, protein smoothie.  Don’t forget to count the calories 🙂

The greek yogurt and any frozen fruit you add to the smoothie will make it very thick…adjust ingredients as you prefer…I liked them thick…more filling.  Also the greek yogurt & chia seeds help control hunger.  Otherwise you will be hungry an hour later.
