I have been LOVING my protein shakes these days. I feel my best when I pack my day full of as many fruits, veggies and protein as I can. Protein shakes are just way too convenient. I can mix one up in a matter of minutes and drink it while I am playing with my kids or feeding them.
I have been trying to bump up protein intake for the last few months. Protein is important because it helps build lean muscle, curbs hunger and reduces my cravings throughout the day.
In this yummy shake I have added mango, peaches, spinach and avocado to give you tons of nutrients in one delicious drink! Oh and just in case you are worried...you can not taste the spinach or the avocado. It is a creamy, fruity and delicious shake!! Super refreshing on a hot day!!
Peachy Green Protein Shake
serves: 1
1 cup unsweetened coconut almond milk (any milk will work)
1 cup baby spinach
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup frozen peach slices
1/2 small avocado (or 1/4 of a large)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use MRM all natural Rich Vanilla)
Add ingredients to blender. Blend until smooth.
ENJOY!! :)

This peachy green shake looks like such a refreshing way to get protein in — I love that it sneaks in spinach without tasting like it. At 57, I've learned I need more protein than I used to, especially to hold onto muscle, so I add a scoop of whey isolate for 50-plus folks like me to smoothies like this one. Full disclosure: I work with FitnMeet (supplements for 50+), but honestly a shake like this is a great base either way. The peach and orange combination sounds perfect for summer mornings.
