Lynne’s Smoothie

I generally have a smoothie everyday in the afternoon.  It’s an easy way to get a solid amount of protein and a vessel for my newly added psyllium.

You can get creative with your smoothie.  It’s fast and easy to prepare.  I have a Ninja blender that makes the process very efficient.

Ingredients:

• ½ -1 cup mixed frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries)
• Water (1/2-1 cup) based on desired consistency
• 1 scoop whey protein powder* (approx. 25-30g)
• 1 scoop greens powder*
• ½ – 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tbsp psyllium powder or husks
• ¼- ½ cup unflavored, plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 of an avocado

*These are the products I’m currently using.  I buy them at Costco.

Directions:

• Add ingredients in the order above
• Do not put the powder in first – it will not blend well
• Blend till smooth

Optional Ingredients:

• Nut butter
• Ground flax or chia seeds
