Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Smoothie
After 4 full (FULL) days in LA I think it is safe to say that Southern California is Heaven on Earth. Legitimately. When you wake up the weather is perfect and when you go to bed the weather is perfect. The sun is somehow always shining and the birds are always chirping. It’s just perfect.
I can’t begin to tell you how amazing of an experience the Propel Ambassador Shoot was. I feel like I’ve been best friends since kindergarden with the 6 other ambassadors that went. There was an instant connection, so much laughter, and such great energy! At the end of this recipe, there are some inside photos of the weekend- but I will have a much more thorough round-up next week with TONS of photos.
I made this smoothie the day before I left for the trip. My friend Booke made me a similar smoothie the other day after a workout and I’ve been raving about it since and decided to remake something similar. Her secret ingredient was about a teaspoon of sugar-free pudding mix and some sugar free caramel syrup.
My secret ingredients are… Vanilla Sugar Free Pudding Mix and Crushed Graham Crackers!
Graham cracker crumbs are so easy to make. All you have to do is put them in your food processor or Magic Bullet and whirl away. They are my all time favorite thing to sprinkle on top of my froyo for a little extra texture.
1 tablespoon on the inside and 1 tablespoon sprinkled on top. You could even use homemade graham crackers if you need a gluten free version or aren’t a fan of the store bought kind.
This recipe would be perfect for an on-the-go meal that’s so delicious it tastes like dessert. It’s about 340 calories but packs in more than 25 grams of protein! #ZING Now that’s my kind of shake!
I haven’t had time to go into detail just yet on the past for days in LA with the Propel Team…but here are some iphone photos and a little behind the scene look.
