Sh*t You Need:
For the smoothie:
1 cup unsweetend almond milk
1 scoop vanilla protein (I used Quest Vanilla)
1/2 frozen banana
Ice cubes
Spinach (use however much you’d like – get those greens in!)
For the toppings:
25g banana
25g blueberries
Raspberry crumbles
2 tbsp chocolate protein (I used Quest Chocolate Milkshake)
Water
Blender
The Recipe:
1. Blend all smoothie ingredients together. Add as many ice cubes as you need to make a deliciously thick consistency. I find that usually about 5-6 is good if you are using a frozen banana, and about 8-9 is good if you’re using a fresh banana. 2. Once blended, pour/spoon into a bowl. 3. Top with sliced bananas, blueberries and some raspberry crumbles. 4. To make the drizzle, mix the chocolate protein powder with just enough water to make an icing. Spoon it into a plastic bag, cut the corner then (pretending you're Cake Boss) drizzle away.
