Protein Shake Fruit Freeze
What you need
2 24-gram scoops of whey protein powder
1 packet zero-calorie artifi cial sweetener
1⁄2 tablespoon fl axseed oil
1⁄2 cup frozen fruit (best choices: strawberries, blueberries, bananas, cherries)
7 to 12 ice cubes
Directions
In a blender combine protein powder, artificial sweetener, flaxseed oil, and frozen fruit with ice cubes. Blend on “grate” speed for about a minute to bring the mixture to a foamy thickness. The more ice cubes you add, the thicker the shake becomes. It often tastes best when it reaches a slushy consistency and can be eaten with a spoon if you want.
Makes 1 serving and takes about 3 minutes to prepare (a great after-workout, high-protein drink)
