Shamrock Protein Shake

I plan to post mostly devotions on my blog but in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day coming up, I wanted to share with everyone my healthy Shamrock Shake.  Also in the future I want to post about fueling and nurturing our bodies because they are temples that God has allowed us to borrow so this is a great kickoff!!

So here is my first recipe post! 

The base for the shake is banana, almond milk and protein powder ( I use Designer Whey Vanilla).  This is the shake I drink every morning after my runs.  To make it shamrock-y, I just added a handful of spinach and a few sprigs of mint! So simple! My sister discovered a secret to making the smoothies really smooth and thick: add the protein powder in while the blender is running!!
