Watermelon-Mango Fruit Protein Smoothie

This one was just amazingly delicious.  I filled it so full, I even got 3 servings out of it.


Ingredients:
1 Cup Frozen strawberries & Blueberries
1 1/2 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder/Shakeology
1/2 Watermelon (Personal Sized, Chopped)
1 Mango (Peeled and Sliced)
1 Apple (Cored & Sliced)
1 Lime (Peeled & sectioned)
20 Blueberries
20 Red Grapes
1 Cup Orange Juice (Not From Concentrate)



Directions:
Add the frozen ingredients into the blender first and then add the protein and the remaining ingredients, top with the orange juice (This helps ensure a better overall blend).  Blend on medium/high speed until well blended and serve.  This gives you 2 smoothies to enjoy so that you can take care of 2 days at once, refrigerate the remaining smoothie.  Enjoy!

Add in all of the ingredients

Blend Well

Serve & Enjoy!
