Craving that shamrock shake from McDonald’s but don’t want all the trash that goes in it? Have this for breakfast or midday to get by and get extra protein.
I drink this for breakfast often because it has only 312 calories and keeps me full for at least 4 hours.
I use the Pure Protein 100% Whey Vanilla Cream protien powder. It’s usually around $20 for nearly 2lbs of protein powder. It sits right in my fussy tummy and is low in fat. Every scoop has about 25g of protein. Fooducate is an app I use to scan bar codes at grocery stores and see how healthy something is versus the extra trash and chemicals added. For this protein powder, Fooducate gives it an A-, which is incredible for the price. You can find it here on Amazon.
I add the spinach in for color, but also get extra vitamin A and iron as a result.
