Meal Replacement Smoothie Recipe

My parents own a healthy alternative restaurant, and we are very well known in the area for our smoothies. This is a smoothie that I make as a meal replacement maybe once or twice a week, and I used to have it everyday for lunch when I was going through high school soccer pre-season.

- 1 cup of soy milk: 100 calories. Protein, calcium, various other nutrients.
- 1/3 of a banana: Potassium and vitamins. I'm not a banana fan so let's round this off to 30 calories?
- 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter: 200 calories or less, depending on which brand/type you use. Protein, good fats, minerals.
- 1 scoop of whey protein: Chocolate is amazing with it. 100 calories for 20 grams of protein.
- Since I have access to it, I tend to add things like ginseng, bee pollen, and spirolina to my smoothie. Those will be about 50 calories tops.
- How much ice? I use a 16 ounce cup when measuring the ice, and I use about 13-14 ounces of it.

500 calories. If you're like me and really only eat 2 meals a day, this could be optimal for you. It packs tons of nutrients, loads of protein, and plenty of vitamins. It tends to yield about 16 ounces or more, and it is EXTREMELY filling. I am *FULL*, not *satisfied*, after drinking it.

I think it would be excellent after workouts, but hey, I like it for brunch too.

Hey I dig it!! I am lactose intolerant so I also Luv that you use soy please email me more contact me on here ok
