You Will Need

• 1 banana
• blender
• 1 c. milk
• 1 c. yogurt
• 1 to 2 scoops of whey protein
• large glass

• 

  Step 1.

  Break banana into blender

  Peel the banana, break it into chunks, and add them to the blender.

• 

  Step 2.

  Add milk & yogurt

  Add the milk and yogurt.

• Whole milk and flavored yogurt will make your smoothie extra delicious, but they add extra calories. Use skim milk and light yogurt if this is a concern.

• 

  Step 3.

  Add whey protein

  Add the whey protein.

• Always check the product label for the proper recommended amount.

• 

  Step 4.

  Blend until slushy

  Blend at a low to medium speed until the mixture is slushy.

• Add fruit like blueberries, strawberries, or peach slices for flavor and vitamins.

• 

  Step 5.

  Blend until smooth

  Blend on low to medium speed until the mixture is smooth.

• 

  Step 6.

  Pour

  Pour the drink into a large glass—or a travel tumbler for your sporty lifestyle.

• Whey protein comes from cow’s milk and is a “complete” protein, meaning it contains all the required amino acids.

You can typically get whey protein at health food stores (ie Whole Foods). There are many brands out there, and some of them seem to be not great, carrying way too many preservatives. We have heard great things about Jay Robb's line, which you can order online: http://www.jayrobb.com/jayRobbProtein.asp
