Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shake

April 27, 2012 · by · 6 Comments

So I’m trying this new thing.  It’s called breakfast.

You’ve heard of it, right?

I thought so.  Everyone has heard of it except me apparently because I hardly ever have it.  In fact, very rarely do I eat before 11 am on most days.  It has nothing to do with the fact that I’m not hungry and everything to do with having 4 kids and a husband.  And a love for sleeping and showering.

If I have to choose between a shower and breakfast the shower is going to win because I try not to scare people off by my smell…usually.

This morning, after kicking and screaming most of the way, I finally tried an instant shake protein powder my husband gets at work.

Oh my heck!  Why did I not try this sooner!?

Sleep.  Shower.  And breakfast.  All in one day.

It’s a new record I tell ya.  And not one I’m planning on changing anytime soon.  

Since I also like chewing this “shake as a meal” better be amazing.  It was and I’m having another tomorrow.  Then it’s Saturday so I’ll probably pass on the shake for pancakes because I can.

I think I like this new thing they call breakfast!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shake

Total Time: 3 minutes

Yield: 1 shake

Ingredients

  • 2 scoops Nature's Sunshine SmartMeal Chocolate
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 6 oz low-fat strawberry yogurt
  • 1/2 banana
  • 4-5 frozen strawberries

Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients in a large pitcher or blender. Use an immersion blender or stand blender and blend until completely mixed and frothy.
  2. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Notes

You could use any chocolate flavored protein powder for this shake. Just use the amount of scoops necessary for one serving. I also think this would be yummy even if you didn't have the protein powder and flavored it with chocolate syrup. (I do recommend the protein powder though because it keeps you fuller longer)

    This is a breakfast I could handle! I always struggle with what to eat, I am just not a fan of breakfast food!

    I’m a breakfast skipper as well. I usually just get going and rush out the door. If and when I eat it, it’s because I have company or I’m dying of starvation! This I could get used to though…
