The Perfect Protein Shake & Smoothie

Happy Friday everyone, hope you're all excited about the weekend and hopefully the sun will be out both days! I've had an early morning today and captured my slowly appearing abs :')
I get so excited purely because I never knew I even had such things before :D now I know they exist haha. I've been cutting for the summer and it's always so lovely to see results. Also went to the gym and picked up some fruit from the market. So I've got a little recipe for you to try out this weekend that is healthy and delicious! I suggest to have this for breakfast or lunch?

 As I've probably mentioned I am at 52kg 5ft2 at the moment with a goal of 50kg. I have reduced my carb intake at the beginning of march so seeing how I will do in a few weeks! It has been tough but it is possible if you have a specific goal in mind! This protein smoothie is very filling so be prepared to be surprised how it will fill you up at 468 calories. I have used My Fitness Pal App to show you the exact measurements so you will need:

200ml Semi-skimmed milk

2 x Scoops of protein powder (50g)

Strawberries - 95g

Pear - 55g

Banana (medium size)

 I have this amazing blender from NutriBullet it does the job in around a minute and I wouldn't swap it for any other! Also the weighing scales are great to keep on track as you can change them for all measurements such as grams and ml.

I add my milk first and then two scoops of protein. I got my protein from MyProtein in Cookies and Cream flavour. Would highly recommend this flavour, it's so good. I'm at that stage where I've taken so many different flavours I was starting to dread that time of the day when I need to have protein especially with strawberry flavours.

My personal tip would be get the flavour that reminds you of the snacks you usually crave! So for example I'm a lover for chocolate and cookies... so I got this flavour and it's nice enough to have it as a 'dessert' at the end of your meal :) it really does trick your mind into thinking you're eating something tasty hehe.

 Weigh your strawberries and add those in too.

 I've cut up pieces from one pear and got it at 55g.

 I found this vanilla powder so I thought I'll give it a go with just a little bit. Feel free to add cinnamon or low sugar syrups too if you wanted to.

Then put it all in the blender and done! It takes no more than 10mins to prepare and here comes your healthy breakfast/lunch high in energy and protein!

Who's gonna add this into their diet? ;)

Keep me updated!
Love hearing your updates,

Love, Skai x
