Chocolate Raspberry & Strawberry Protein Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup raspberries
• 1/4 cup strawberries
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• Handful of spinach
• Scoop of chocolate protein powder
• 1/2 cup crushed ice

It has been so hot outside all I crave are ice cold lunches and dinners! No more hot ovens and stoves in this house for awhile. 

While some people are completely fruit free on their 21 day sugar detox, I have decided to eliminate all fruits except berries. Berries are included in the paleo diet and have incredible amounts of fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients (which prevent disease). Berries fit perfectly into my healthy lifestyle.

 

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients into blender, press liquify/ice crush/blend until smooth.

About as easy as it comes!

Women have to be careful on a high-protein low-carb diet, an adult woman should only eat 46 grams of protein a day. Moderation in all things, including protein! I paired this smoothie with two huge servings of cauliflower and steamed green beans.
