1 single serve

Ingredients
  • 1/2 scoop TH Pristine Whey Protein Powder (1/2 to 1 scoop, see recipe note below)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or 1/4 cup 0% greek yogurt, or 1 or 2 light coconut milk ice cubes)
  • 1/2 cup water (or 3/4 cup if using yogurt or coconut milk cube option)
  • frozen berries (optional; or, other plan-approved E fruit if you are choosing to make this an E smoothie)
  • 1 Tbs TH Super Sweet Blend (or TH Pure Stevia Extract Powder, to taste)
  • unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
  • ice cubes (generous amount)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Place 1/2 - 1 scoop whey protein into blender (depending on whether it is a solo snack, a meal or an addition to another protein food like egg whites.
  2. 2
    Add one of the following - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup 0% Greek yogurt, or 1-2 light coconut milk ice cubes.
  3. 3
    Add 1/2 cup water if using unsweetened almond milk, or 3/4 cup if using Greek yogurt or light coconut milk cubes.
  4. 4
    Add frozen fruit (for an E) or berries (for an FP).
  5. 5

    Add TH Super Sweet Blend or TH Pure Stevia Extract, if whey is unsweetened.

  6. 6

    Add an optional 1 Tbs cocoa powder.

  7. 7
    Add additional ice cubes.
  8. 8

Note

If your whey protein smoothie is accompanying another food that contains a good amount of protein, you do not need to use a full scoop of whey. If you desire an E or FP breakfast of scrambled egg whites, and want a smoothie on the side, use only half a scoop of whey. The smoothie will still be thick and delicious, your whey protein will last longer, and you won't overdue a macronutrient. Remember that suggestion for snacks also.
