Spinach Berry Smoothie! (My New favorite)

When I first started on this journey I often found myself making protein shakes. Today I tried adding bits and pieces of all my favorites and came up with a new tasty treat. The best part is that it's low in calories, has plenty of protein, and tastes super good.






1 cup vanilla soy slender (This stuff has no sugar, a nice amount of protein, and is like having a vanilla shake.)
1 cup frozen mixed berries (I prefer the tri-berry blend from Costco.)
2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
2 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup cold water


Throw it all in the blender and mix well.



Yep, this is what I came home and made after a run today. Love it!



P.S.  It's even purple. Valentine treat anyone?T

  3. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around blended spinach in a smoothie, but I just may have to give this a try. I have spinach in a salad quite often (it's on the menu for tonight, as a matter of fact) but it never occured to me to try it this way...thanks for the idea!
