Breakfast Protein Smoothie

"What do you eat for breakfast?", this is a question that I get asked a lot after the exercise questions of course. LOL. This post is going to take you step by step on how to make a strawberry/banana protein breakfast smoothie(for two) that I eat each day. The protein powder mix that I use is GNC Pro Performance AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 (click on the link to purchase or read more about it). This may not be the protein that works best for you. It just depends on what you are wanting to do, this protein helps you with strength and stamina and it is also great in helping you manage your weight. The milk that I use is 100% fat free milk from HEB. If you have any questions, feel free to comment here or email me at jeffcerda12@gmail.com. Thanks and enjoy!

Step One: Wash and cut off the leaves from the strawberries. I use 10 to 15 depending on the size of them.

Step Two: Slice the strawberries. (This is optional, I like doing this but it is not a requirement)

Step Three: Pour 1 cup of milk into your blender and mix in your cut up strawberries.

Step Four: Slice up one large banana and add to blender.

Step Five: Place lid on blender and blend until you get a smoothie mix.

Step Six: Mix in your protein powder mix. Blend your strawberry/banana mix for one minute so that your protein mixes well with your fruit. Depending on the flavor and brand of the protein that you use, your mixture should changes colors. I use the vanilla mix, so my mixture changes from a darker pink to a lighter pink color. The amount you use will depend on your brand and what type of protein powder mix you use. Be sure to read your protein container carefully to see how much you need.

Step Seven: Pour in your favorite cup/glass and enjoy! Along with the smoothie, for breakfast I also eat a Thomas 100% whole wheat bagel with central market peanut butter and a Zone Perfect chocolate almond raisin bar.
