Banana Berry Wake Up Shake

Now THIS is really something.  I originally stole it from the wonderful, lovely, Anna who's eggo is preggo.  I've tweaked it a bit for my kid who's allergic to milk products.  I'm particularly happy about the incorporation of protein powder since he's like, microscopic and needs the extra boost.  I've tried hemp protein, whey protein (bad idea since it's made from milk - um,duh), and a new product called Vega.  I'd definitely go with the latter.  It's plant based but doesn't have that....muddy taste.  


Thanks Anna.  This has become one of our basic food groups.


Banana Berry Wake Up Shake



1/2 - 1 cup frozen mixed berries
1 frozen banana
1 Tablespoon peanut butter
1 Tablespoon ground flax seed
1-2 Tablespoons chocolate protein powder
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup rice milk
juice of 1/2 lime
1 cup of ice (or so)
add water to desired consistency


Put all ingredients in blender.  Blend until smooth.


warning:  Best to drink this one with a straw.  It's SO good that I've given myself many a brain freeze guzzling too fast.

I tried this with a handful or two of spinach and it worked well! Just add a bit more liquid. Thanks, Annie! This is delicious;)
