A Berry Good Protein Smoothie
Make your protein shake taste better and have more nutrition by adding berries to the blender. Berries are low in calories, so you won’t notice much change in the amount of calories in your shake, but you will see a huge jump in the vitamins and fiber content of your shake. You’ll also see a nice flavor change.
This protein shake recipe is attempting to get that classic chocolate + berry flavor that is so popular. Think of chocolate covered strawberries or raspberry flavored chocolate bars.
This recipe is a nice snack. It won’t fill you up a huge amount, but will let you enjoy a healthy, tasty drink. If you are on a diet you can use this as a great meal replacement recipe.
