Protein Smoothie Tips
You can add ice to any blended shake to make a protein smoothie "on rocks" or blend ice into the smoothie to make a "frappe". Fruit can sweeten your shake naturally plus adds fiber and vitamins for extra nutritional benefit. For a thicker shake, reduce the amount of milk or milk substite. For a higher protein shake, double up on the protein powder or add a 1/4 cup of nuts or nut butter.

Happy holidays and feel free to share your holiday protein shake recipes with us!
