I go in phases with smoothies.  For months I’ll go without having any and then all of a sudden I’ll wake up and NEED one.  I think it’s the warm weather that has me craving them lately… that and I also got a massive box of Tropeaka products from Brainsnacks so I have been loving getting creative in the kitchen with them. Here is my latest creation… beware, it’s addicting!

Strawberries + Cream Smoothie

1 frozen banana
1 cup frozen or fresh strawberries
1 TBSP Tropeala Vanilla Lean Protein
1/4 Cup yogurt of your choice (I used coconut)
About 1 cup nut milk (I used coconut)

Throw it all into a blender and crank it up! If you feel like getting creative you can add shredded coconut and chia seeds on top! That’s it! Easy, delicious, refreshing, and healthy!

Have you been into smoothies lately? What’s your go to right now?

*Tropeaka is an Australian brand and can be quite pricy to ship to Canada. Luckily, you can buy almost all Tropeaka products locally at Brainsnacks!

I experimented with a few recipes and this one is by far my favourite.  It’s healthy, delicious, and keeps my full until lunch!

* peel, cut, and freeze your bananas before!

Best Green Smoothie Recipe

-1/2 frozen banana
-1 cup (or more) fresh baby spinach
-1 cup coconut milk
-1 scoop PB2
-1 scoop organic brown rice protein powder – this stuff is absolutely horrendous on its own but it is perfect in this smoothie. I tried it with vanilla and it was NOT GOOD.
-Handful of mixed nuts, dates, and shredded coconut.  I throw a big batch of this in my food processor once a month and keep it in a jar on my counter.  My favourite mixture is dates, almonds, dried coconut, and cashews.
-splash of egg whites – this makes it frothy and gives you a little more protein
-dash of cinnamon
*you can add ice if you wish but the frozen banana keeps it cold enough for my liking

I almost always prep my smoothie the night before by putting everything, except the coconut milk, into the blender cup and popping it into the freezer.  That way all I need to do is add the liquid and blend.

And because drinking a smoothie out of a cute tumbler makes everything better, here are a few of my favourites:

Oh and I always get questions about my metal straws.  Here they are! I just have the regular metal one but these metallic ones look pretty sweet!
