If you're anything like me, you can relate to the feeling of being ravenous after a workout.  Give my body a good 30 minutes, and I'm ready to pull through the nearest drive-through and order everything on the menu.

I told myself that 2016 would be the start of healthier habits, and for me that starts in the kitchen.  I've found that as a woman it's easy to fall short on our protein requirements, and if you are training consistently (or, even if you are just looking to hit your nutrition goals), a good, old fashioned protein shake is an easy and quick way to get those extra grams in.
My go-to smoothie is too easy.  Here's everything you'll need:


Frozen bananas
Frozen fruit of your choice (I usually go for strawberries, blueberries, or mango)
Spinach
Whey Protein (I use vanilla for this shake)
1/4 cup Old Fashioned Oats
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
Throw everything into your blender.  I usually throw in the fruit first, then I add my 1/2 cup of Almond Milk to measure in the blender.  Add your spinach, oats, and 1-2 scoops of Whey Protein.  Blend!

You can always customize this to best suit your needs and cravings.  If you don't want your smoothie as thick, add a bit more milk or remove the oats.  Try changing your Almond Milk for Chocolate Almond Milk or adding some peanut butter if you're feeling something rich and sweet!
