I know all my recipes lately have been short and sweet. That is because I have had no time to spend in the kitchen because work has been absolutely crazy!

Good crazy. But crazy none the less.

I am sooooo looking forward to Saturday. Oh, and I just started the fourth week of the cleanse! Time is flying!

I have had this smoothie for breakfast every day for last 10 days probably. The peppermint extract is a real game changer let me tell you. I feel like I’m drinking a dessert when I have this. I don’t think I will ever be able to go back to plain chocolate protein.

This recipe would work with any protein powder but I use Vega protein since it comes from plants. Crazy, right? The best part is, 1 scoop only has 120 calories, 25 grams of protein and only 1-2 grams of sugar. And of course it has about a days worth of vegetables in it. I love this stuff!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup crushed ice
1 tablespoon flax oil or omega 3-6-9 oil
2 tablespoons almond butter
1 scoop chocolate vega sport protein
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

Blend all ingredients and run out the door thinking you are having a milkshake for breakfast!
