Protein Packed Smoothie

I found hubby a men's workout DVD for Christmas.

He really loves it and it motivates him like crazy.

I enjoy the workouts as well.

We even saw results in less than a month.

He also enjoyed sharing some of the workouts with our nephews over Christmas.

(Wish you guys lived closer - so we could all challenge each other.)

One "downfall" of the workout is a super-charged metabolism.

It is an effort to keep the belly full of good things that build muscle.

I looked up a protein smoothie recipe that would not require protein powder.

Hubby was not convinced at the first sip,

but has begun to request it for breakfast (when the house is not too cold).

Enjoy!

1/2 T coconut oil

1/4 old fashioned oats

1 c 0% Greek Yogurt

1/2 c 2% cottage cheese

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

1-2 small banana(s)

2 c frozen fruit

2 c milk (we use almond milk)

Blend and enjoy.

This is 2 servings - but I think it would serve 4.

The recipe was billed as blueberry cheesecake - 

it was good, but not quite cheesecake :)

We make it with mixed fruit most of the time.
