Heaven in a cup!

1/2 - 1 cup of mixed frozen fruit (mango, strawberry, peach)
40g vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp honey
1tbsp flax seed oil
1/2 - 3/4 cup water

blend till frothy.

Imagine if you will, drinkable whipped cream, with a gentle fruit flavour, and the nutritional value of a perfectly balanced meal. Oh yes, and the ability to keep you full for at least 3 hours. Its honestly the best mix and blend Ive come up with yet, and I highly recommend it as a snack or even a light lunch. If you want a bit more antioxident power, than I would go the cranberry, blueberry and strawberry route - lovely purple drink, instead of the light peach of the above. However, it has the tendency to get a little runny, wheras the mango/peach combo makes it thick and light.
Ambrosia - Sheer Ambrosia.

((And if its been a really bad day, add two shots of vodka - it makes it a little less frothy, but it sure will make *you* feel better *laughs*

That sounds quite yummy! Could vanilla yogurt replace the powdered stuff and be as good, I wonder?

Somehow I think yogurt would be more affordable than the mix. The mixes I've priced at stores have been redonkulously expensive. :(

I really dont think so. But you could definitely try! And if you find an actual weightlifting/health type place... well.. ok - I pay about 60$ a jar for my protein powder, but its for 2kilos, which, when used daily by two people, lasts about 2 months. One serving is as much protien as 3 oz of chicken, or 5oz steak.... you do the math, and its *way* cheaper to get the powder than to eat real meat.
