JESS'S POWER PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

It makes a great breakfast or on-the-go snack option. I recommend it in the afternoon too when you feel that lethargic slump coming along. 

This will help you control your cravings and your weight!

Put the following into a blender: (work with what you have access to)

 1 or 2 scoops of protein powder- either 100% natural whey protein/sprouted brown rice protein (must be totally natural-from a health store if possible, see links below) 

2 tsp stevia (natural, calorie free sugar alternative – look out for a post on this in the future)

1 tsp cinnamon ground

1 tsp vanilla extract (if available) 

1 tsp chia seeds (full of omega 3, protein and many vitamins and minerals.)

1 tsp acai berry powder/maqui berry powder (a powerful antioxidant)

1 tsp Goji berries (cult antioxidant powerhouse)

1 tsp bee pollen (effective and underrated hormonal balancer)

½ Frozen banana/handful frozen berries (any fruit available) 

½ cup of milk (good quality cows milk/ almond milk/rice milk)

1/2 cup ice blocks (more ice the creamier!)

1/2 cup Coconut water/Filtered water

Feeling a bit hormonal, PMS? For Hormonal Balancing-ADD 1 tbs Maca Powder. 

Extra hint of choc flavour?  Add 1 tsp cacao powder! 

Top with some desiccated coconut/cut up fruit/nuts/seeds if you like. 

Here are the NATURAL protein powders I recommend:
