Happy Wednesday everyone! With it being the first week of 2017 I thought that I would give you all a healthy recipe for those of you that their new year’s resolution was to eat healthier. My friend Brooke who I worked with when I interned at Glamour Magazine is honestly one of my fitness inspirations. She is currently training and going to be running the marathon in London after running the marathon in NYC this year. Yesterday she posted this amazing protein bowl and I had to ask her how to make it. These are a great alternative to those who don’t necessary like having a smoothie or are still looking for a healthy alternative this new year.

Ingredients:

Almond Milk – plain almond milk, but if you want to try vanilla almond milk I did and it tasted great!

Ice

One Large Frozen Banana (peel it before freezing it! I learned that mistake the hard way)

Plant Protein – My friend got hers from Garden of Life

Almond Butter

 

I did this myself today in a blender and I started with a ¼ of a cup of almond milk and added more as I saw fit and I did the same with the almond butter and plant protein. I personally love protein shakes, but only when they taste more fruity than protein. If you have a nutribullet you can also  make this in there as well. It may be easier if you want to use the container to bring it to work with you on the go. Brooke topped hers off with flaxseed, walnuts and organic shredded coconut. YUM! I personally put on top of mine some of the organic coconut and strawberries.  Hope everyone is having a great day and for those of you in New York City I hope you are all preparing for the snow that we are suppose to get on Friday! <3
