Strawberry Banana Smoothie!

My son lifts weights all the time and as part of his routine, he regularly drinks a protein powder shake.

Unfortunately, it tastes like blech!

Role Mommy just happened to send me a bunch of recipes the other day from Chef Kim, the private brand chef and expert at Daymon Worldwide.

One of them was for a smoothie recipe using protein powder as an ingredient. So I had to make it and surprise him!

Breakfast Smoothie

Makes 2 smoothies

* Half a Banana
* 4 -6 frozen strawberries (I used about 10)
* ½ c plain yogurt
* ½ – 1 c orange juice (I used 1 cup)
* 1 Tbsp Flax seeds
* 1 Tbsp whey protein powder

In a blender add the banana, strawberries, yogurt, and orange juice. Blend until smooth. Add the flax seeds and whey, blend until evenly distributed and enjoy!

*****

Experiment with all kinds of fruit and juice combinations and have fun!

And by the way, this was a hit. He still recognized the taste of the whey in the drink, but there was no blech involved!
