Nutritious Morning Protein Shake

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you like those expensive protein drinks you can buy at the health stores or super markets(Odawalla), give this a try. These taste great , fill you up and give you a great boost to start off your day. The shake I'm going to be showing you how to make is roughly 295 calories and close to 16 fl oz.
What you'll need:

- Blender
- 3/4 Cup  milk (2 percent)
- 1 Small banana
- 1/4 Cup Greek vanilla yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon Bob's Red Mill Ground flaxseed meal
- 2 Tablespoons Soy protein powder

In blender or a cup if using a magic bullet like myself,  Add the following:

3/4 Cup 2% Milk  ( you can always use 1% milk or Soy Milk but this will change the calorie count)
97.5 calories

1/4 Cup Greek Vanilla yogurt ( for less calories, use plain)
55 calories

1 small banana ( under 6 inches)
72 calories

1 Tbsp. Ground Flaxseed Meal
30 Calories

2 Tbsp. Soy Protein powder
40 Calories( this will very depending on what brand Soy Protein you use)

Blend & Enjoy
