Peanut Butter, Banana protein yum!

Basic Protein Smoothie
- 1 frozen banana, 1 handful of frozen organic strawberries, 1 scoop of whey protein
powder, 1 cup of OJ. Blend. I also sometimes like to put in coconut flakes (not shredded). Small amounts of coconut oil counts as a healthy fat and the flakes add chewy bits that
I like. - —Guest OMPilates
