365 Paleo Recipe Project: DAY 11 - Tropical Protein Smoothie

Rumor has it that in some parts of the country, it's actually warm this time of year. (Houston, I never thought I'd say this, but I miss you). For the lucky citizens of those places, I present you with my summer protein smoothie recipe! You can really use whatever fruit you'd like for this one. I was having a lazy day today and didn't feel like chopping fruit, so I grabbed a bag of frozen mixed fruit from the freezer. (I keep them on hand for just such a lazy occasion) If you buy frozen, make sure that it's just fruit - no sugar added. I used a blend of strawberries, bananas and pineapple.

Ingredients:

1/2 c ice

1 1/2 c diced fruit - again, any kind is fine

1 c almond milk

1 scoop pure whey protein powder

Add all of your ingredients to a blender and blend thoroughly. Pour into a glass and enjoy. 

P.S. - I would have used a garnish and tried to make the pics for this one really pretty, but then I asked myself to name one time that I've ever garnished a smoothie? The answer was never, but if you garnish and are offended by my plain pictures, then I apologize. ;P
