Delicious Very Berry Protein Shake Recipe

One of our main goals as the Clean & Colorful Kitchen is to help inspire you to live a Clean & Colorful Lifestyle, which includes eating more whole food, all 5 colors, enjoying high quality plant powered juices and smoothies and of course staying active…every single day! We like to call these the “universal diet truths” and when mastered, will help you feel better, look better, naturally have more energy, reduce disease, and can even help you lose weight!

While we offer a variety of tasty and colorful meals, we realize that having recipes on hand to make your own colorful snacks and meals is the key to finding success with your Clean & Colorful Livestyle.

That’s why I wanted to share one of our favorite protein shake recipes! It’s packed full of color, vitamins, minerals, and protein to help keep you full and energized. It’s simple to make and makes an amazing grab-and-go power breakfast!

Very Berry Protein Shake Recipe

Pure Protein Super Food

I love making protein shakes throughout the day. It’s the perfect pre/post workout snack or quick snack for on the go. This Very Berry Protein Shake recipe is one of my favorites! Thanks to Pure Protein Super Food, it provides a complete protein profile that includes all essential amino acids for lean muscle and strength. Next time you’re in a protein shake mood, you have to give this recipe a try!

Very Berry Protein Shake Ingredients:

  • 1 scoop of Dark Cocoa, Vanilla Bean or Mixed Berry Super Fruits Super Food
  • 1/2 – 1 cup of frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries are my fav)
  • 1-2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1/2-1 cup water*

*Extra water is totally optional and up to you. It can be a great way to make your protein shake larger, so it lasts longer. It can also boost your hydration for the day. It’s really a matter of preference in terms of the consistence you like your shakes to be. For more fun tips like this, be sure to register for our Smart Smoothie Workshop…details below!

Very Berry Protein Shake Directions:

  • Blend for about 15-30 seconds on low then increase to high speed for an additional 40-60 seconds.
  • You can add more water if you prefer a thinner and more hydrating shake!
  • Enjoy!

Delicious super food protein powder from Pure Protein

One question we get asked all the time is “what protein powder do you use in your smoothie bags?” Well, after many, many, many plant based protein tastings with subpar results, we were so excited when Pure Protein launched their plant based superfood product. Pure Protein is known for its outstanding flavor, and in the Kitchen, we’re excited to offer it as our exclusive protein powder!

Not only is Pure Protein Super Food the simplest way to get an extra 20 grams of plant based protein (with less than 5 grams of sugar per serving) into your diet daily, it’s simply delicious! It’s a plant based power house made from a blend of brown rice, pea and and hemp proteins. Oh, and let’s not forget that this protein powder is also non-GMO, dairy free, soy free, and free of artificial flavors, colors and sweeteners.  Getting protein and greens in your diet has never been easier or tastier!

If you want to make smoothies at home, you can find Pure Protein Super Food at Kroger, Meijer, and Amazon.com and now even CVS and look for their  Dark Cocoa, Vanilla Bean or Mixed Berry Super Fruits flavors for the perfect compliment to any smoothie.
