Delicious Summer Protein Smoothie Recipes

I am such a creature of habit. Every morning I have the same protein smoothie – delicious – but getting boring! You can read about my tried and true morning smoothie here.

Time to change things up a bit! I have found some very delicious recipes to share. Frozen fruit works well because it gives the iced texture and it lasts a lot longer than fresh fruit. This allows me to have a larger variety of options. If you are using fresh ingredients, I would suggest adding some ice before blending.

Now that I am pushing 40, I have started using Collagen powder. I add this to my smoothies as well and have found it to blend right in and not alter the taste at all.

Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Smoothie

Either fresh or frozen blueberries and spinach will work! If I use fresh, then I add ice. If I use frozen, then I don't.

  • 1 cup Blueberries
  • 1 cup Spinach
  • 8 oz Almond milk
  • 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tsp Cheesecake pudding mix
  1. Mix all ingredients, blend, and enjoy!

 

 

Peach Cobbler Protein Smoothie

This takes like Peach Cobbler in a glass! So refreshing and delicious!

  • 1 cup frozen peaches (If using fresh, add ice)
  • 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 8 oz Almond milk
  1. Mix all ingredients, blend, and enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Smoothie

If you love strawberry cheesecake, you will love this one!

  • 1 cup Strawberries
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1-2 tsp Cheesecake Pudding Mix
  • 8 oz Almond Milk
  1. Mix and blend!

Mango Avocado Salsa

One of my favorite summer time foods…Mango Avocado salsa. It is so yum and light and refreshing! (Look for very ripe mangoes, at least partially red exterior and a little squishy)

Mango Avocado Salsa

Delicious and refreshing salsa, pairs well with lime tortilla chips

  • 3 Mangoes – peeled and chopped (ripe works best)
  • 2 Avocados – peeled and chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tsp cilantro
  • 1 squeeze of lime juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  1. Peel and chop mangoes and avocados. Mix together and stir in honey, salt, and lime juice. Top with Cilantro

I don’t typically measure ingredients when I make a recipe – I prefer to go by taste, so you might want to make some adjustments to the honey and cilantro to meet your taste buds!

Pair this with lime flavored tortilla chips and you will be begging for a Margarita and a beach!

How Can I Believe the Bible is true?

Do you ever wonder if the Bible is real? Maybe you believe some parts but have doubts about others? You don’t know much about the Bible’s history and want to learn more?

If you have ever asked these questions, I have a great podcast suggestion! Pastor Rick Warren recently did a fantastic series about the validity of the Bible.

It is a 4 part series. If you skip the intermissions, I think you can listen to the whole thing in less than an hour.

I guarantee you will be wowed at least once, regardless of your Bible IQ.

The most amazing takeaway and reminder for me was that the Bible has the same theme throughout the entire book, even though the 66 books of the Bible were written over a span of 1600 years by over 30 different authors on 3 different continents. Seriously. I knew the Bible had many authors and was written over a span of time, but didn’t know the details.

The Bible is the most read, purchased, and translated book to exist.

I am over halfway through a chronological reading plan which you can read more about here.

If you want to learn more, listen to the Podcast series, and find a reading plan that works for you!
