Berries & Honey Smoothie

With Spring less than a week away, I have been feeling the desire to drink smoothies.  The weather is much warmer, and a cold, fresh smoothie can really make the perfect morning meal.  Especially when strawberries, blueberries & raspberries are in the mix.  These are also perfect after an early morning workout...which I am still trying to incorporated in my routine (consistently).


WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon raw honey
2 - 4 Low Carb Protein Mix (preferably vanilla)
1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

4-5 ice cubes

LET'S BEGIN:

Fill your blender with the first four ingredients (almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, protein mix) and blend on high for about 30 seconds.  Begin adding your frozen fruit through the center removable measuring cup (in the middle of the lid, aka funnel).

Add ice cubes one at a time until desired thickness...I like it creamy like a milkshake.

Now pour and enjoy!  This is by far my favorite smoothie.
