Everyday Protein Power Smoothie

The Joy of Smoothie Making in the Shoup Household

Smoothies have become a staple in our household, with each family member having their own favorite combinations. From cherry mango and flax to blueberry and spinach, and even peanut butter and banana, there’s a variety for everyone. This habit has become so ingrained that it’s often the first thing my kids do when they walk in the door or return from a trip.

Why I Love the Everyday Protein Power Smoothie

My personal favorite is the Everyday Protein Power Smoothie. It’s incredibly versatile and can be adjusted to suit whatever I have on hand. Whether I add a bit of fruit like blueberries or stick with just the essentials, it always provides a satisfying and nutritious meal on the go.

Versatility and Convenience

One of the best things about this smoothie is its versatility. You can mix and match ingredients based on what you have available or what you’re in the mood for. Whether you add a banana, some berries, or just enjoy the creamy blend of macadamia nut milk and vanilla protein powder, it’s always delicious and filling.

Perfect for Busy Schedules

As our schedules get busier, having a quick and healthy meal option like this smoothie is invaluable. It’s the perfect “fast food” that keeps you energized and full throughout the day. So, whether you’re running out the door in the morning or need a quick lunch, this smoothie has got you covered.

Cheers,

Everyday Protein Power Smoothie

This is my current go to smoothie – I make this several times a week for either breakfast or lunch and it gives me all the energy I need to make it to the next meal. This is the smoothie that I can throw together when I've got 2 minutes before running out the door and it's delicious. The perfect "fast food!" Optional to add the blueberries – I probably do about half the time and I really enjoy it both ways.
