I love smoothies for breakfast. I have one almost every day. It’s the perfect thing after a brisk morning run. I have been playing around with different combinations of fruits, vegetables and whey protein. I stumbled on this one which is a winner. This is a Blueberry Mint and Protein smoothie. It’s very simple. I used one cup of light Silk soy milk, 1 cup of blueberries, 1 scoop of protein powder and about a dozen fresh mint leaves. The mint and blueberry works so well together. It’s refreshing and nutritious. Chock full of wonderful vitamins and antioxidants.

After a good long Sunday run I usually refuel with my favorite smoothie and after a brisk 8 miles this morning I needed some superfood. Blueberries are absolutely packed with antioxidants and healthy vitamins.
Here’s my recipe for my super delicious super power smoothie.
1 cup skim milk
1 cup frozen blueberries softened in the microwave for 1 minute
1.5 scoops of non-flavored whey protein powder
2 tbsp ovaltine chocolate drink mix
1 tbsp natural creamy peanut butter
That’s it! Blend until smooth and serve in your favorite Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville glass!
Smooth Sustenance

I admit to eating a lot of liquid breakfasts. After a nice long run in the morning there’s nothing better than a big fruit and protein smoothie to rejuvenate those sore muscles. I usually use frozen fruits because they taste good all year long. My basic formula is to use milk, fruit, protein, and sometimes other flavors. Yesterday I had a nice long 15 mile run so I loaded it up with chocolate and peanut butter too. Here’s the recipe I used.
Strawberry Protein Smoothie
1 cup skim milk
1 cup frozen strawberries, slightly thawed
1.5 scoops vanilla flavored whey protein
1 tbsp Ovaltine chocolate powder
1 tbsp creamy peanut butter
Blend until smoooooooooth and enjoy.
