Two recipes down…twenty-eight to go :)

For my second breakfast in this challenge I decided to go with a yummy ‘Coffee Protein Shake’ I had pinned last month. Coffee in my morning shake? Sounds like a good plan to me!

Anyways, I clicked on the pin and realized that the recipe had actually come from one of my favorite bloggers: Fit Is the New Black. If you haven’t checked out her blog, I highly recommend you do so! Holly is the creator of the site and she gives GREAT fitness and health tips. She is direct, honest and knowledgeable; I always look forward to her posts :) Thanks Holly for this delicious shake!

Coffee Protein Shake (2)

So the recipe? Another easy one!

Coffee Protein Shake
(via Fit is the New Black)
1 cup Cold Coffee
1 cup Almond Milk
1/2 Frozen Banana
1 scoop Protein Powder (vanilla or chocolate)
2 cups Ice

In a blender, combine all ingredients. Pour into cup and enjoy!

My Review: I really enjoyed this shake. It reminded me of a Frosty from Wendy’s (I mean, obviously it’s not exactly a Frosty but they are quite similar.) :) I am not sure if it would last me until lunch or a morning snack; however, if you use a higher level protein it would likely hold you over until your next meal.
