As a busy mom of four, I gave up breakfasts that are time consuming long ago! Although cereal, frozen waffles, granola bars & healthy homemade muffins are a staple in my home for the kids… I make myself a protein shake or smoothie almost every morning. I love to experiment by adding greek yogurt to different types of fresh fruit & even veggies {such as spinach or kale}. I typically sweeten {when needed} by adding honey, but you can always adjust that in the recipe to use your favorite sweetener.
This Raspberry Vanilla Smoothie recipe is packed full of high quality protein from the Fage Greek Yogurt I used {18 grams to be exact!}. It’s also loaded with healthful antioxidants from the fresh, organic raspberries {to read more about the health benefits of raspberries click here}. I made this recipe for my husby and I one morning. My kids had a taste and LOVED it! I ended up having to whip up more for my sweet little ones!
