While smoothies and protein powder certainly shouldn't be the mainstay of the family diet, I need the supplements right now because the amount if protein I consume doesn't get close to what the guidelines suggest for a person trying to build muscle.
I bought Pure Protein vanilla cream whey powder at Target. Certainly not as wholesome as the products I've been trying from the natural food store but economical. I started blending it with skim milk and a banana, in part because I bought real cow milk to play with my matcha powder I got for Christmas.
I also started putting honey ginger crystals in my smoothie for some zing.
Today I tried this:
- 1 cup (maybe 1 1/4, not sure) skim milk
- 1 banana
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1/2 serving Prince of Peace honey ginger crystals
- 1 heaping tablespoon matcha
The ginger level was almost perfect, maybe a tiny bit strong, and in my opinion the matcha could have been doubled but I love matcha.
