PRINTABLE RECIPE



Lately, I've been sticking with a breakfast shake instead of an entire meal in the morning.  I feel a little lighter throughout the day, and to be honest, it saves a lot of time in the mornings . . . All I have to do is rinse the vitamix and I'm good to go!  

As I've been playing with these breakfast shakes, I've learned that to be a complete meal replacement shake, you need to include protein, healthy fats, good carbs, etc.  So naturally, I've been experimenting with all different kinds of shakes: the meal replacement shake, the snack shake, the after-workout protein shake, and of course, the dessert shake (typical me).  Call this shake what you want, but it could pretty much fit into any of those categories!  That's why I love it so very, very much :D
