"May you create peace within your being, understand your strength, create a relationship with your own soul and find the personal, impersonal, and universal truth in your actions. May this day bring you the light of life and may you understand you are here to be here with joy, happiness, and prayer. May you all be blessed." Yogi Bhajan 2/8/99

Creamy protein smoothies

 

I've been making protein smoothies from various different kinds of protein (whey, rice, egg, and some others that I don't know but are vegan).  I've mainly been using either soy milk, almond milk and/or water as a the liquid and then add some crushed ice. 

HERE IS THE VERDICT:

• I like soy or almond milk better than just water UNLESS it's the whey protein. They are really tasty!! my favorite is Jay Robb Strawberry - it tastes like a milkshake and is more filling that some of the others.
• USE some form of milk. Just using water and ice will not get the consistency right = it clumps and the liquid separates.
• Use half of (or whole) banana to make the smoothie creamy without adding a lot more calories.
• Lastly, pay a little extra for a protein shake that tastes good and is not overly processed which is not good for protein = it denatures it which in turn becomes free radicals in your body. So don't try to cover the taste or quality up with more berries/fruit. Be good to your body.

My favorites:

1. Jay Robb Strawberry Whey Protein ($23 - but this one is EXCELLENT tasting and doesn't clump if you can't make a smoothie) It basically tasting like a a creamy strawberry milkshake. I love it!!
2. Aria Vanilla (found at Trader Joe's - only $10)  - I found this once was the best for not clumping if I just wanted to mix it with almond milk. 
• RECIPE: 8-12oz. of almond milk, crushed ice, a dash of cinnamon and a whole banana = YUM!
