Orange Protein Shake ~ healthy and delicious!

Looking for a truly delicious recipe to help with your weight loss?

Look no further than this delicious orange cream protein smoothie shake!  For those that have had a love for orange “anything” and love shakes, this is the perfect combo to satisfy all these wants.  Have as a meal replacement (using meal replacement powder) or pair with a meal.  Something this delicious may very well please all who are looking for a healthy alternative to sugar-laden malts, shakes and other desserts.

Here is the “basic recipe” for an orange protein shake with ways to tweak to become your favorite beverage (dessert?)..

1 to 2 scoops of protein powder (vanilla or orange whey, meal replacement, or other of YOUR CHOICE)

1 – 1-1/2 cups of your favorite orange juice

5 or more large ice cubes

Add in this order to a blender:  ice cubes, protein/meal replacement powder, and orange juice.  Blend well until ice is totally crushed, all is mixed completely, and shake is a creamy texture.  If necessary, add more ice or orange juice, to taste.

May add:  bananas, pineapple, strawberries or other fruit/veggies, ground flax, wheat germ, crushed oats, more vitamins, almond or coconut milk, or whatever rocks for you!  Make it your own.  But, be aware of calories if wanting to keep it low-cal.

Enjoy!
