breakfast coffee protein shake


Ingredients:
♠  2 handfuls of ice
♠ 1 scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder. I use a vanilla flavored vegan brand, that has 22 grams of protein per scoop. That’s half of the protein I need for the day!
♠ 1/2 frozen banana
♠ 1 cup of brewed coffee-choose whatever flavor you like
♠ 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk- I like unsweetened almond milk because it’s dairy free, provides extra protein, is creamy, and only 35 calories. However, you can totally use whatever type of milk you want.
♠ Truvia to taste- You can also use Stevia liquid, or whatever other type of sweetener you like, but I highly suggest trying to faze actual refined sugar from your diet .
