High Protein Raspberry Smoothie: A Delicious Way to Fuel Your Day

Today we are making a high protein raspberry smoothie that is honestly so delicious it tastes like dessert. My name is Alayna and welcome to my kitchen. I recommend freezing your fruit, this is what makes it a nice thick smoothie and then you don't have to add ice to it. So the first thing that's going in is just half a banana that I sliced up and it's nice and frozen. This is to add just a little bit of sweetness to our drink and then I also have one cup of frozen raspberries. This makes it such a beautiful color and I personally love the flavor of vanilla so I like to add half a teaspoon of just vanilla extract and as this is a high protein smoothie my two protein elements are my greek yogurt as well as some collagen. This is optional adding in collagen but I love it because it has a ton of protein, it helps keep me full for longer and it's great for your skin, your nails, and your hair. So I'm just going to add in two tablespoons of my collagen and that will add in nine grams of protein. And the thing is this is unflavored. I add this to my coffee in the morning, my matchas, my smoothies, even sometimes banana bread and you can't taste it which I love. Next I'm adding in some greek yogurt. This is just some full fat greek yogurt and it's a three-fourths cup and this adds in 15 grams of protein. It's also unsweetened because we're already getting a little bit of the sweetness from the banana. Next I'm adding in a fourth cup of almond milk. I am not saying buy this brand but this is the brand I use because I love it. It has no gums or fillers in it and a lot of alternative milks nowadays do have fillers and this is the only brand I've been able to find that is just almond water and some vanilla extract. And now it's time to blend our smoothie all together. So here we have our finished smoothie and it is a really thick smoothie. If you like a thinner smoothie you can always add a little bit more almond milk but I personally love it. This tastes like a raspberry soft serve almost but it's so healthy and full of protein and I like to have this before I go to the gym or after a workout because it gives me some energy and it keeps me full. So I gotta say it's absolutely delicious. It tastes like a dessert in a drink. Wow.
