Protein Smoothies

Dr Oz's The Quick Magical Breakfast Blaster
2 servings, 136 calories per serving

1 scoop (1/3 cup) Soy protein (like Nature's Plus Spiru-Tein)
1/2 tablespoon flaxseed oil
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 large ripe banana (or other fruits of your choice)
1/2 tablespoon apple juice concentrate or honey
1 teaspoon Psyillium seed husks ( or more maybe 2 Tablesppon)


Peel banana; break into chunks. Put all ingredients in a blender. Add 12 ounces of water and ice, as well as powdered vitamins. Cover, blend until fairly smooth.

Nordine's Power Punch
2 tablespoons soy or whey protein powder
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 medium banana
1 1/2 cups ice cubes

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Serve in a tall glass.

Protein Fruit Smoothie
(serves 2)
1 to 2 scoops vanilla whey powder
1 cup strawberries
Banana
1 cup ice
1 cup water (substitute milk or yogurt for a thicker, higher calorie drink)

First add ice to blender. Then add strawberries, banana, protein powder and water (or milk or yogurt). Blend all the ingredients until everything has dissolved. This will fill you up faster than you would think! If there is some left over, take it in a "to go" cup or pass it on to a friend or family member.
