Dreamsicle Shake

I experimented today and it turned out quite good! In my Nutribullet I combined: 1 scoop nectar Fuzzy Navel whey Protein Isolate (23g protein) two small handfuls (just under 2 cups?) of raw spinach, about 1.5 cups of frozen diced peaches, splash of vanilla extract and some stevia. It's a puke green color but it's really tastes very, very good. It's SUPER thick. Next time I will probably do half of everything.

I have always added veggies to my shakes- spinach and Kale are best.

I'm not right now because I'm in preop phase but after I'm cleared to I will again. It is a good way to get some extra Vitamins in.

That sounds delish! I had the same problem in the Vitamix with them being too thick. But that was MY mistake because I was following a juicing recipe, so once I cut the fruit in half and added a cup of Water, it was good to go!

I hadn't thought of using nectar in smoothies...what a great idea!!! Another flavoring option is Mio or whatever liquid Water flavorings you like. I'm currently hooked on using vanilla Protein powder, a little coconut extract and a squirt or two of Dasani water flavoring in Pineapple-Coconut flavor along with two handfuls of spinach and a big fat carrot. It tastes SOOOO yummy!!!

OMG, I just bought a huge jar of Fuzzy Navel and was wondering what to do with it all! I will have to try this!

Normally I use a scoop with 22 oz of Water (fill a shaker bottle to capacity) and a single packet of Crystal Lite (usually a store brand). It dilutes the Protein taste.
