Post workout today I made a Strawberry Banana Protein Shake.
Here are the ingredients I used.

Add the following ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth: 

-8 oz milk 

-1 scoop of any Vanilla protein 

-1 banana

-2 heaping spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt 

-10-15 small frozen or fresh strawberries 

I usually mix in frozen strawberries even if I have have fresh ones because it gives it a thicker consistency. If I don't have frozen strawberries I will add a few ice cubes to thicken it up. 

Here's the finished product. Yum!

I'm off to get some fresh produce from a local market and make a trip to a local running store. Check back tomorrow for another great recipe and workout.
