• 1/2 cup frozen peaches

Preparation

Its simple. Just blend all ingredients together and… that’s about it.

If it’s too, thick just add some more of either rice or soy milk or both. This drink has a nutty fruity flavor, and is accompanied by the healthy fat found in flax seeds.

• 2 to 3 tablespoons of coconut oil (solid)
• 1 scoop whey protein

Preparation

Blend the above ingredients with the immersion blender until they are smooth. If the drink is too thick for your taste, add a little more juice. Clean up is a quick rinse and blending of a drop or two of dish soap in some hot water and a thorough rinse.
