Peanut Butter Mocha Protein Smoothie

What’s up y’all?

Happy happy Friday!!

I don’t know about y’all, but there are many days when I feel like I could use an extra boost. Extra caffeine, extra protein, extra dose of healthy… The list could go on and on!

For days like that, I’ve come up with a smoothie recipe that I’m sort of addicted to right now… I think I’ve had one every day this week, actually!!

>> What you’ll need <<

1 serving instant coffee (I like Starbucks Via)
4 packets of stevia
2 TBL cocoa powder
2 TBL peanut butter protein (I like PB2)
1/4 TSP vanilla extract
1/2 cup 0% Greek yogurt (I like Fage)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup ice

>> What you’ll do <<

Stick all of this in a blender and mix until smooth. Pour into your glass and ENJOY!

The finished product has about 160 calories and 18 grams of protein! Score!

I hope you like this as much as I do! If you try it and add any variations, I’d love to hear! Thanks for stopping by today and have an AWESOME weekend!!!

Carrot – Grapefruit – Mango Smoothie

I stumbled across a wonderful recipe via Pinterest the other day that I’ve already enjoyed twice since Monday! It’s from a blog called Katie at the Kitchen Door and it’s for a Carrot-Grapefruit-Mango Smoothie!

The color was what initially drew me to it. Then when I saw the list of ingredients, my hunch that the recipe was healthy was confirmed!  The only ingredients are carrots, mango, and grapefruit, plus a little water, ice, and optional sweetener (which I did add. Two pinches of stevia to be exact!)

 Check out the full recipe here so you can be sure to get your proportions right! Hope you love it as much as I do! It’s PERFECT for this time of year and might be even more perfect as those temps keep rising!

Drink up!
