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 collagen and creatine in every day. 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 a little 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 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
