Since Chris got me some flavorless protein powder for V-Day, I was ready to hit up the smoothie-making business. One day after a workout, I decided I wanted to break the seal and use the new protein powder, instead of a new expensive gross (in my opinion) one that Chris got. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a ton of smoothie fruit in the house (I mean strawberries, bananas, blueberries, etc.), but we still had some of our staples. So I whipped this together, giving Nymeria and Sajah scraps of fruit along the way.

Ingredients

• 1 scoop Jarrow’s whey protein
• 1/2 cup milk (I really didn’t measure this)
• 1 banana
• 4 clementines
• ice

Directions 

• Put ice and milk in blender, ice crush!
• Put in the scoop of protein powder
• Break the banana and half and add in. Peel the clementines and add in, whole or cut
• Blend until smooth!

And enjoy! Makes about two servings, I couldn’t finish all by myself so I saved it for later. I call it almost-tropical because we didn’t quite have the pineapple or guava or passionfruit to kick it into tropical gear. But this tastes great anyhow. Feel free to mix and match with whatever fruit or protein you have. Cheers!
