1scoop Protein powder of choiceI used chocolate whey
2tablespoonAlmond butteror nut butter of choice
1cupMilk of choiceI prefer whole milk in smoothies
Instructions
Add all ingredients except for the protein powder to a high-speed blender (oats, frozen blueberries, a frozen banana, fresh or frozen spinach, ice, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, almond butter, and milk). Blend starting at a low speed and gradually work your way up to a medium speed while mixing with a tamper. I never find that I need to go up to full speed for smoothies.
When the smoothie is blended and smooth, add in the protein powder and blend again until combined.
Pour into one large (20-32 ounce) jar or two smaller jars or glasses. Enjoy!
