Vanilla Coffee Protein Shake

This post comes to you from my kitchen where I’m using the dishwasher as a table because it’s the only place I can use my lap top without my kid trying to “help me” use it. I have to be on my toes anyway because we’re potty training and you never know where she might decide to pee – usually anywhere except in her potty works for her.

That’s kind of irrelevant, huh? What’s relevant is… I’ve never been a breakfast eater. Not to say that I don’t enjoy breakfast food – I do! It’s my favorite, actually. But I’ve never been the kind to want to eat anything when I wake up. Well, you know what they say: breakfast is the most important meal of the day! So instead of trying to force feed myself, I tried to get my nutrients in through a shake this morning.

What You Need (this will fill 4 glasses – I swear I don’t drink that much first thing in the morning… this was my first time making this)

• 1/2 cup cooled, brewed coffee
• 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• tbsp cinnamon
• 1/3 cup egg whites, pasteurized (this equals two large eggs)
• 3 cups ice
• 1/2 banana

Now What?

• combine all ingredients together in blender and blend!

* This is a good shake to put in your Blender Bottle because it likes to separate a little as the ice melts
