High-Protein Orange Julius Smoothie

I love this smoothie! I drink it with my breakfast almost everyday. Or for a quick lunch! It’s such a great way to make sure I get my powders in every day: collagen, gelatin, and creatine. It’s also a great source of protein and healthy carbs. If it’s your whole meal, use lowfat or full-fat yogurt to get some fats in, or make it nonfat if you have another source of fat in your meal (like eggs or buttery sweet potatoes). You can also switch up the fruit additions, this morning I added a half cup of frozen wild blueberries and a half of a banana for extra carbs. I also love this little glass blender I found on Amazon, so I don’t have to get out and wash my big Vitamix every time: https://amzn.to/40M02kw
