First of all, I should be tarred and feathered. I said I’ve had a new post up for you yesterday, and I didn’t. I had to go on a day trip somewhere, that brought me home around 12:30 a.m. So that is my excuse. I will try to be a better blogger in the future….once I am able to attend some seminar that tells me how this is possible. Ha.<\/p>\n

So….anyway, most of you know that I’m making it a lifestyle change to include protein in all of my meals. I am the the carb-o-holic and yet, miracles of miracles, I’ve switched over to becoming fond of protein.<\/p>\n

Why? I feel better. It keeps me feeling more full. It helps me stay slim. My muscles recover better after a workout. My blood sugar levels stay more stable.<\/p>\n

Now, this is when I really make an effort to have more protein in my diet. It’s still a struggle…but I’m getting better at it.<\/p>\n

One of the ways that really helps me get that protein in is smoothies. It’s fast, easy, and after a good morning workout, my body really craves something cold and refreshing.<\/p>\n

So today, I thought I’d share 5 of my favourite, healthy protein shakes with you. Just in case you need to shake<\/em> things up a bit! Keep in mind that you can use whatever protein powder you want. I use all sorts of kinds…hemp protein, vegan protein powder, and whey protein. I do stay away from any powder than includes soy, because I think soy is bad, bad.<\/p>\n

\"Sweet<\/p>\n

Sweet Tart Protein Smoothie<\/a> (one of my faves!)<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Chocolate Coconut Protein Shake<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Healthy<\/p>\n

Healthy Coffee Frappuccino <\/a>(for this one, just add a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder – SO good and very low cal!)<\/p>\n

\"Supercharged<\/p>\n

Supercharged Green Vegan Protein Smoothie <\/a>(a great daily breakfast smoothie)<\/p>\n

All of these smoothies are great for post-recovery after a good workout or as meal replacements! Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
