When you’re short on time in the morning I recommend trying to get in the habit of making a fruit smoothie with some protein in the morning. It can take just a few minutes to make and you can drink it on the way to work or as you start your day.

I add the following in the listed order (helps it blend):

1 Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 Medium Banana
1 Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
1/2 TBSP Flax oil
1.5 Cup Frozen Strawberries
Optional: splash of Apple Cider Vinegar
Optional: Fruit Flavored Amino Energy by Optimum Nutrition (adds some extra fruit flavor and some caffeine).

Estimated Nutrition Facts:

Calories: 350

Fat: 10g

Carbs: 40g

Protein: 25g

A couple modifications depending on your goals and what you have available:

You can use just half a banana if trying to cut calories. Bananas help with the texture of the smoothie and have a lot of good nutrients, so I recommend keeping at least half.
Change the strawberries to any other fruit/berries. If you use fresh, then I recommend less almond milk and adding some small ice cubes.
Switch to normal milk or a full serving of flax oil for added calories and protein.
- Or add Peanut Butter
Greek Yogurt can also be added or used to replace the protein powder.
Add or subtract ingredients to make the smoothie the right size for you. In general, you can add more liquid to make it thinner, and add more frozen fruits to make it thicker.

Enjoy!
