Fruit & Protein Smoothie

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

This is an easy and nutrient dense option for our dieters on the go! With this smoothie you’ll be getting 23 grams of protein and the collagen protein has 9 grams of carbs. You’ll also be getting carbs from the fruit so this will be one of your fruit portions in one smoothie.

Serves: Serves 1

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of milk. You can use pea milk (my favorite… it’s creamier) or if you’re in ZReboot, you can use almond milk or coconut milk. Make sure your choice is UNSWEETENED.
• 2 level scoops of collagen protein
• ½ cup of FROZEN berries. Choose from strawberries, blackberries or raspberries, or a combo. Do not use blueberries. They are higher carb. If you use whole frozen strawberries that would be 4 -5 berries.
• ½ cup of water.

Instructions:

Put all ingredients in your blender in order. That way nothing will clog in the bottom. I use a Bullet Blender but you can use any kind. Whiz for about 20 seconds. Turn off so the frozen fruit settles and whiz again to get it all mixed.

Then drink. Voila!

Enjoy!

Please Note:  I have included this recipe because we have vegetarians who do Plan Z and I needed more protein options for them.  I have not cleared pea, coconut, or almond milk to be consumed regularly on Plan Z.  Save those kinds of milk for ZReboot with this rare exception. 

Cheers,
