Ok so I’m TRYING to do Paleo… it is a new development… and I’m not sure if this qualifies as a strict Paleo recipe or not, but I figure it’s still good for me anyway.
While cavemen did not have protein powder (whey protein to be specific), they also did not have a freezer to keep frozen fruit, and I also highly doubt they made almond milk…. none the less, this is a delicious smoothie that you can tweet a little everyday and it is super quick and easy to make!
I haven’t been measuring it for Zone-Paleo, so there are no exact amounts added.
Required ingredients: Scoop (or more) of vanilla protein powder and almond milk
Suggested Fruits: Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches pineapple.
I usually use frozen (generic storebrand) fruit unless I have some excess fresh fruit. The frozen fruit gives it the cold consistency of a shake (without adding ice cream of course!).
Other sugestions:
Remember pineapple is higher in sugar than other options, so keep it at a minimum. To be nicer to your blender, add just the strawberries (or the hardest/largest fruit) and blend until they have been pureed. Add the almond milk and protein power and remember to stir the powder in. If you forget this step, more powder will end up on the side of the blender than in the smoothie.
I like to not measure this recipe because it gives me a different outcome each day, and what’s not to like about that?
