Simply Pretty Eats: Green Tea Raspberry Protein Shake

I woke up this morning, feeling kind of groggy after having to work late last night, so I needed a boost to even get enough energy to get dressed to go to the gym, so I decided to make my breakfast protein shake. I had some of these babies sitting unused in my cabinet (because I buy them and then always just end up preferring plain water.) In my tired state, I poured one in my blender with my shake mix and unsweetened almond milk, and oh my! This is a new favorite!!! It tastes almost like a sweet cream soda, it is freaking DELICIOUS!!! There are so many flavors of this out there with plenty of low-calorie options and I'm excited to give them a try...

1 "On the Go" Crystal Light Green Tea Raspberry Packet
8-10 oz Unsweetened Almond milk, or fat free milk
Your favorite protein
Ice cubes

Blend and enjoy!!

*I have another recipe involving Crystal Light and cocktails, stay posted.

XOXO,
Erica

*I purchased this Crystal Light with my own money.. This is my personal opinion on this product.

Simply Pretty Eats: Butterfinger Protein Shake

I have struggled with my weight since I was in middle school so I have to be really careful about what I put into my body. I like to workout in the mornings before class and work and one thing I love to do to give my morning a boost is drink a healthy protein shake for breakfast. Now, one of my biggest challenges is that my love of cooking comes with a need to have variety in my daily eating, so the basic fruit, yogurt and protein shake just wasn't working for me on a daily basis.

So if you find protein shakes boring and want a dessert taste with few calories but a powerhouse of nutrients, try this Butterfinger protein shake recipe:

8 oz Almond Milk, or fat-free milk

2 Tbsp sugar-free butterscotch pudding mix

1 Tbsp reduced-fat peanut butter

1 serving Protein (whatever kind you prefer)

Ice cubes

Blend well in blender and enjoy!! 

XOXO, 

Erica
