I'm really into making intricate smoothies, but sometimes after a workout or when you're on the go you just don't have time to be washing blenders, cutting up produce, sifting through the freezer or putting much thought into a wholesome healthy protein drink. This quick protein shake is under 300 calories and has 37 g of plant based protein. It takes less than a minute to prepare as everything is a powder and you simply shake it together in a bottle with water! This is great for traveling, work, the gym, or every day on the go hustling. I made it up by combining some of my favorite go to fuels that surprisingly enough made a really WOW flavor when mixed together. Mean and green from spirulina, your body will forgive you if you forget to eat your greens for the rest of the day, sweet and tangy from goji berry superfood powder that has extra vitamins and minerals, smooth and slightly salty from dried peanut butter powder that has all the taste and protein without the fat, and the fuel from wholesome Orgain vanilla protein powder, or any other protein powder of your choice.
Don't know where to buy these things? Check your local health food store or Amazon which carries EVERYTHING and is usually cheapest. I get my Orgain on Amazon for about $20 a container and it lasts a while, and I actually found the goji berry and peanut butter powders at Walmart! Spirulina can be bought at most health food stores but to get a larger quantity, go with Amazon or even TJ Maxx sometimes sells it these days in it's food aisle for a competitive price.
You could stick to mixing together protein powder alone and just chugging it, but why not enjoy your shake and get extra superfood fuels and nutrients too? This shake will make you feel FANTASTIC and your body will THANK YOU!
