It’s hard to believe we’re nearing the end of week 2 in our 21-Day Clean Eating Breakfast Challenge <— psst: if you have no idea what I’m talking about, click here.  BUT we are rockin’ it, enjoying a tasty, new protein smoothie, chia pudding, or overnight oats recipe every morning.

This week, we had THIS Blueberry Muffin Protein Smoothie for breakfast and I’m still swooning.  OMG so much yumminess in a mason jar.

I mean — see: look at what’s in it….

So simple, yet so delicious.  Plus — you know — all those other good things, like high protein, no added sweeteners, no processed junk, clean eating, and other goodness.

Lots of peeps have been asking about protein powder – what one(s) I use, how to pick it, what to look for, and what to use instead of it.  If this sounds like a question you have, read on. 🙂

How To Pick A Protein Powder

Protein powders come in all shapes and sizes, flavors and types, and so on. Look for protein powders that have a very short list of ingredients and do not include any artificial sweeteners, even stevia (read more on sweeteners here). While you can always choose to leave out protein powder for protein smoothies, I recommend the following as the best clean options for a healthy lifestyle:

  • Micellar Casein
  • Naked Whey
  • Less Naked Egg
  • Naked Pea
  • Naked Casein

While you buy it protein powder in bulk, it can be a little investment if you’re not used to adding it to your grocery list.  So, here’s a quick tip on how to save money on protein powder

How To Save Money On Protein Powder

Smoothies typically either call for vanilla or chocolate flavored protein powders. In order to use just one protein powder, you could…

  • add 1/2 tbsp. dark cocoa powder to vanilla protein to make a chocolate flavor OR
  • add 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract to an unflavored protein powder to make a vanilla flavor

This means you can get unflavored or vanilla flavored protein powder and make any kind of protein shake on this blog.

Pretty sweet, eh?

BUT some people don’t really like protein powder or find it doesn’t agree with their tummies.  For you guys out there, here are some yummy, healthy ingredients:

Healthy Substitutes For Protein Powder

  • peanut butter
  • almond butter
  • cashew butter
  • whole fat plain greek yogurt
  • whole fat cottage cheese
  • flaxseeds
  • chia seeds
  • hemp seeds
  • egg whites (pasteurized)

Hopefully, there’s an idea here that makes you and your tummy happy 🙂

    Hi there! This looks super yum and very easy, but I hav3 a question: It calls for a 2 minute prep time and a 2 minutes cook time. Do I really need to cook it? Or is that how long I need to blend it?

      Then remove the oats and banana. Either way, look for solutions instead of being a debbie downer.
