Carrot Banana Protein Smoothie

If you want to switch up your smoothie game, you will love this Carrot Banana Protein Smoothie made with almond milk and flax seed.

I love the convenience of a protein shake when I need something fast and I’m trying to eat enough protein during the day. I created this post-workout protein shake because I hate the artificial flavors of all the flavored brands I’ve tried—and I’ve tried a ton of them! This Carrot and Banana Smoothie with milk provides many benefits. I used unflavored pea protein powder, a ripe banana for sweetness and nutrients like potassium and vitamin B6, carrots for beta carotene, flax for extra fiber, turmeric, and almond milk. It’s a delicious, plant-based, high-protein breakfast recipe!!

• 1 cup almond milk
• 1/4 cup unflavored pea protein powder, or whey protein
• 1 medium very ripe banana
• 2 baby carrots
• 1 tablespoon ground flax
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• lots of ice
• sweetener of choice, optional
