Option 1: SHAKE IT UP!
Getting started with Berry Green Protein is EASY. You can Shake it, bake with it, or blend it up in a smoothie. Here is the FASTEST, EASIEST and most CONVENIENT way to get started using your Berry Green Protein – my shake it guide!
Instructions:
- 1 serving Berry Green Protein
- 8-10 oz water
- Add water to a shaker cup (or a glass – leave room in the glass for mixing)
- Add Berry Green Protein.
- Shake or vigorously mix your powder with the water until well combined.
- Pour, serve and enjoy! (You may enjoy pouring it over ice for a cold, refreshing glass of Berry Green goodness)
Note, due to the lack of artificial binders, Berry Green Protein will naturally separate if allowed to sit in your glass for longer than 5-10 minutes. Simply give it a quick twirl with your spoon to remix!
OPTION 2: BLEND IT UP!
You can use your Berry Green Protein in any Smoothie or Blend! Join me for this Blend It guide, with smoothie making tips, and a delicious, easy smoothie recipe that tastes great with Berry Green Protein!
Berry Blast Smoothie
- 1-2 cups spinach (or other leafy green)
- 8-10 oz unsweetened almond milk (or other milk or water of your choice)
- 1/2 cup berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 serving Berry Green Protein
- 1.5 T chia seeds – optional (big “T” is always Tablespoon, “tsp” always refers to teaspoon in my recipes)
- Add greens and liquid to your blender, and blend well. If you have greens with heavy stems, trimming the leaves off may help make a creamier blend, as well as chunking up your greens. With a high speed blender like mine (Blendtec – here’s where to find refurbished Blendtecs for a great deal), you can simply throw everything in at once.
- Add fruit, Berry Green Protein, and seeds (optional)
- Blend until smooth. Feel free to add ice cubes if you like your smoothie colder. You can also add additional liquid if it’s too thick.
- #stopdropandbettyrock during your blending process!
OPTION 3: BAKE IT UP!
You can even BAKE with your Berry Green Protein! Here are just 2 of my favorite recipes to add the Berry Green Protein to! It will give your recipes an added boost of superfood nutrients, a natural vanilla strawberry sweetness AND a boost of protein.
