Basic Protein Shake

I got this recipe from my Naturopath, Dr. Glenda Laxton of West Coast Naturopathic. She suggested I have this for breakfast to start to day off with a protein, and try and minimize my headaches....I will admit I am not a huge fan of the rice protein, but she is big on no wheat and no dairy. I have my best days when I start my morning off with this shake in a fancy mason jar :-)

I have promised a few that I would post this...so here it is. Thanks to Dr. Glenda Laxton of West Coast Naturopathic Clinic .

The Basic

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (original or vanilla)
1 banana
1/2 cup other fruit (berries, pear, apple, etc)
1 tbsp flax oil
2 tbsp rice protein powder (I use Nutribiotic, vanilla or plain)
1/4 tsp acidophilus (dairy free)

Blend all ingredients and enjoy! I keep my fruit in the freezer (except my bananas) this way, your shake is cool and refreshing!

I know there are MANY other concoctions, but this is what was suggested to me by my naturopath, and it seems simple enough for me to follow. I am not a health nut looking to maximize my protein intake, I just needed a boost for the day :-)
