Ingredients

1 medium to large banana
6 ounces plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups calcium fortified orange juice, I used Tropicana
2 cups frozen sliced strawberries (with no sugar, the ingredients on the bag should only have strawberries)
2 tbsp flaxseeds or flax meal, I like the Golden Flax, Bob’s Golden Flax Meal or Bob’s Red Mill Golden Flaxseeds
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 scoop vanilla protein powder, I used Quest Vanilla Milkshake whey/casein blend
1 tbsp honey or agave, leave out or use any sweetener of choice
1 cup ice cubes, make sure the ice is fresh
1/8 to 1/4 cup cold water or milk of choice

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in blender and whirl until smooth and creamy. That’s it!
