15 grams protein, spinach, tastes like a banana milkshake.
- 1/2 cup spinach puree
- 1/2 cup fat free greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp banana flavoring
- 1/2 banana
- 1/4 cup artificial sweetener
- 1/2 cup protein milk
Spinach Puree: fully wilt a giant package of baby spinach in a tiny amount of water, then puree in a food processor and refrigerate
Put everything in a blender and whiz it up. Measurements aren't super precise. Go easy with the blender, I usually pulse it - it is easy to start whipping air in, and it doesn't settle easily.
I can't taste the spinach - going to try upping it to a full cup of spinach puree. Going to try adding cocoa.
Version 2
- 1/8 cup cocoa powder (maybe 1/4 cup?)
- 1/8 cup artificial sweetener (increase this, I think)
- 1/2 tsp banana flavoring
- 1/2 banana
- 1/4 cup spinach puree (make this 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup greek yoghurt
- 3/4 cup protein milk
This isn't really a deliberate variation - I just didn't look at the old recipe this morning, and couldn't remember the ingredients. This was more liquidy, which was good.
Version 3
- 1/8 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup artificial sweetener
- 1/2 tsp banana flavor
- 1/2 banana
- 1/4 cup spinach puree
- 1/4 cup greek yoghurt
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 3/4 cup protein milk
Much more delicious, much less healthy.
