I’ve been making an amazing smoothie recently and figured I would share my simple recipe here. It’s very easy to make and really tastes delicious, here is what you need:
– 2 scoops Whey Protein
– 1 large ripe banana
– 5 pieces of frozen strawberries
– 4 pieces of frozen blackberries
– 8 pieces of frozen blueberries
– a spoonful of honey
– 4 large ice cubes
– 150ml water
Put them all in a blender and blend. The smoothie comes out pretty thick and the quantity is enough for two people although I drink the whole thing myself. For the Whey Protein I use the strawberry flavored VPX SRO Zero Carb Protein which you can find locally at Health Planet. For the frozen fruits you can find them at Sultan Center and they’re pretty economically priced. Finally, you could replace the 150ml water with almond or soy milk but you really don’t need to.

Just a thought, why do you use frozen blackberries, strawberries and blueberries, Wouldn’t fresh ones be a better and healthier choice?
Frozen fruits contain as much nutrition if not more than fresh fruits. You can google that to find out more but other than the financial and health benefits of frozen fruit, they also make better thicker smoothies.
Oh okay. Thanks for the info. Mark
That looks more like a carb smoothie to me :p
why carb?
What’s this new craze about having smoothies served in a JAR?
it just looks nicer when presenting, kinda gives it an organic feel
I like my smoothies in a mug kinda gives it a grandpa feel
IMO, frosted beer mug is the way to go.

If I may give a tip. I freeze peeled bananas in a ziplock bag and keep in the freezer for my smoothies. You can reduce the amount of ice cubes in your recipe if you use frozen bananas.
Also it totally changes the texture of the drink. Ask a friend to do a taste test and they’ll swear that you added ice cream to the smoothie.
Thanks for revealing my mum’s secret ingredient.
Definitely dropping in to try it out !
I’d drop the banana and add almonds. The protien benefit is higher and the flavour is slightly nicer. Personally I’m more of an eggs, coconut, almond, berries kind of guy.
I’m allergic to both eggs and almond 🙁
You’re allergic to eggs? How do you survive?
