Just ask my husband, I used to proclaim that I would absolutely NEVER like protein shakes.
Ewww. Gross. Puke. No way.
Pretty much how in college I claimed I would never drive a minivan. Like never ever ever. (—> Andddddd then I had kids).
Proud minivan owner since 2011. What what.
When I started doing the fit challenges I forced myself to try the shakes that go with it. I honestly thought I would take one sip, say “heck-no” and move on.
But, I was shocked when I actually took a drink? AND LIKED IT.
Crazy-town.
Sooo, if you are like me, and thought you would never like any kind of healthy shake…I am here to give you hope. Because I have now found at least 5 recipes that I totally dig.
Sometimes I wonder who I even am these days. 😉
I wanted to share with you my favorite one. I make this almost every single day. Clearly I like variety. Ahem.
- 1 Cup Almond Milk
- 2 TBSP water
- 7 Frozen strawberries
- ½ Banana
- 1 TBSP V-8 Splash Smoothie Strawberry/Banana
- 1 Scoop Vanilla Shakeology
- Add frozen strawberries, banana, almond milk, water, V-8 splash smoothie and vanilla shakeology. I blend mine in a Nutri-Bullet for approximately 30 seconds.
- You can also use Chocolate or Strawberry Shakeology flavors.
Of course, my oldest son HAD TO show you just exactly how we do it. I love his enthusiasm. Not so much his ability to pour <— watch to see what I mean.
If you are interested in trying out Shakeology let me know and I can help or you can order HERE.

Hey! I’m starting the 21 day fix and shakeology on Monday and so excited! I read you can only have milk/almond milk 3 times a week. Do you get around having it only 3 times a week buy having half a serving each time? Is that allowed? Thanks!!
It’s been updated now that Autumn has 8oz of almond milk and does not count it as a container (that’s a new update for 2015). 🙂
I’m looking for where I can find this new update on the almond. I have the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme Eating Plan booklets and I don’t see it there. Can you help me find it?
I found this youtube of Autumn explaining the almond milk question.

Yum! I actually like protein smoothes! This one sounds great =)
I became a huge fan of shakes after my fourth kiddo. It was an easy and healthy way to have breakfast or beat those 4:00 cravings!
I’m getting a NutriBullet 900 in the next few weeks and this recipe (or a slight variation) is going very near the top of my list! Also, that video was too cute.
Hey! I wasn’t able find that flavor of V8 at our local Safeway. Where were you able to find it? I ended up making it with a different flavor V8 and it was delicious regardless (:
Thanks for the recipe!
I got mine at Walmart!
Love this recipe!! Tried it last week and it’s definitely my new go to! Thanks so much for sharing!
