A Berry Berry Berry Minty Smoothie

All this week, I've been following a smoothie diet so the only things I can consume are smoothies from mixed frozen berries with water and protein powder. It tasted great for the first few cups, but then it became bland. So I rebelled just a little, and I started adding a bit of other things to the smoothie. Hey, it's the only thing I'm eating, so better make it taste good.

It is so heavenly-tart, refreshing, with a hint of mint and cream. THE Best way to wake you up: better than coffee.

Scrumptious and Healthy Berrynana Orangape Shake  
Total time: 5-7 minutes Serving size: 1 cup/8 oz

Looks creamy? Tastes like it too. Thank you banana and protein! 

Ingredients (in whatever proportion unless specified) 

• Strawberry 
• Banana 
• Orange juice
• Grape juice 
• Protein Powder (preferably 1 tablespoon, or according to package directions) *My protein powder is vanilla flavored, but if your brand does not have flavoring, add a teensy drop of vanilla extract*

Equipment:

• A blender/smoothy maker 

Directions
Cut all fruit into small pieces so that your blender can puree them easily. You don't want to have fruit chunks floating in your drink. Put them inside blender cup, add orange juice, add grape juice, and protein powder. I like to shake my cup a bit to let the powder distribute more easily. Blend to desired consistency. Open your container and smell. Taste. Add honey if you want to sweeten it more. Enjoy.
