Here is an awesome protein blend that I made yesterday morning! I drink an advocare shake everyday whether its to replace breakfast or dinner if I’m teaching a late class. But if I have time it’s nice to add variety to my drinks. This shake includes Prunes (which contain high amounts of fiber), Protein powder, Apple and skin (good source of fiber beneficial for the colon), Ginger (contains anti inflammatory properties, helps ease muscle pain), Peanut Butter or Almond Butter (Healthy Fat).
1 small apple (chopped, cored and skin left on)
1/4 c dried pitted prunes (optional)
1 tbsp natural peanut butter or almond butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp minced ginger root
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
3/4 cup cold water
Make sure to blend really well and add more water if you don’t like it too thick. I didn’t have prunes so I just threw in a few raisins. I also used crunchy unsalted almond butter which was really good. Be careful not to add too much ginger sometimes that flavor can be over powering! Hope you all get a chance to try this, I really liked it!
