I am currently in love with making shakes, and not the Chik-fil-A/insanely delicious/add-five-pounds kind. I’ve been having some healthy smoothies to replace breakfast and as a snack here and there, and I’m loving them. Here are my two favorite healthy shakes of late:

The Breakfast Smoothie:

• 1/2 Scoop Raw Protein Powder (I use Vanilla)
• 2 Tbsp flax seed
• 1 c. almond milk (or Soy, if you don’t like Almond – I love Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Vanilla almond milk!)
• 1 c. frozen mango
• 1 banana

The Sweet-Tooth Snack/Dessert Shake:

• 1 banana, frozen in chunks in advance
• 1 c. almond or soy milk
• 1 Tbsp Cocoa
• 1 Tbsp peanut-butter (you can go healthy or not here, I just use whatever is on hand!)
• 1 Tbsp truvia/stevia (optional, but it makes it more of a dessert)

Give them a try if you’re looking for some healthy goodness this spring/summer, I promise you won’t be disappointed (unless you’re expecting a handspun Chik-fil-A chocolate milkshake – my personal gold standard for unhealthily decadent shakes, which these are not). Enjoy! I would love any suggestions from readers for other shakes . . .

Do you have any favorite combos?
