Protein Smoothie
For a fast, no-fuss breakfast option, go for a delicious fruit smoothie packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and a shot of energizing protein. In a blender, combine 3/4 cup milk (use skim, soy, or almond milk), half a banana, a cup of frozen mixed berries, 3 to 5 ice cubes, and a scoop of protein powder. Though brands vary significantly, most powders provide 20 to 25 grams of protein per scoop, which is equivalent to about three ounces of grilled chicken. Blend until smooth and frothy, and pour into a travel cup — an easy, on-the-go meal for those hectic exam-day mornings.
