Power Smoothie Recipe

September 20, 2007 · Filed Under Healthy Smoothies, Low Carb Smoothies, Protein Smoothie · 2 Comments 

If this power protein smoothie doesn’t get you moving you’ll need to add pure adrenaline. A great smoothie recipe with power.

Power Smoothie

  • 1/2 banana
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1/2 cup fruit juice (i.e. orange, cranberry, etc.)

For added nutrition use:

  • 1 Tbls. soy protein powder
  • 1 Tbls. molasses
  • 1 tsp. wheat germ.

Blend until smooth. Then add frozen fruit, i.e. strawberries, raspberries, etc., one at a time, until smoothie is consistency you desire. The basic recipe is: ice, fruit, yoghurt, juice and/or milk. (I usually stick to juice, but sometimes add just a splash of milk to smooth it out.)
