Mint protein shake

A sugar free peppermint protein shake - it's pretty darn good if you feel the need to add some protein to your diet. It also sneaks in some dates, which are fantastic for your health, especially if you are trying to conceive.

Equipment

  • 1 blender - a high powered blender is awesome for this smoothie

  • 1 scoop raw protein powder organic
  • 1 Tbsp dried mint
  • 12 dates (deglet) organic
  • 2 c water filtered

Instructions

  • Throw everything in your blender and blend on high til smooth. Pour and enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have a high-speed blender, be sure to soak your dates overnight so they are soft.  I started keeping a supply of these in the fridge to add to smoothies and oatmeal - you don't have to blend as long this way so it stays colder which is a nice bonus too :)
