The weather in California has been on par lately. Usually, we get at least some semblance of “winter”, but this December and January have been especially warm. It’s been in the low 70s with lots of sunshine, so my college has been filled with girls in shorts, crop tops, and sandals. And I’m not complaining- especially when the warm weather inspires me to create super delicious and protein-packed cold recipes like this Berry Protein Smoothie!
To make this recipe, I used a new-to-me product, Renew Life Skinny Gut Vanilla Shake protein powder, and loved the extra nutrition it gave me! While I’m usually more of a chocolate kinda girl, the vanilla flavor paired perfectly with the frozen berries I had on hand and was a fantastic switch-up from my normalprotein shake recipe. The frozen berries and nonfat greek yogurt gave a tasty creaminess that was complimented by the vanilla flavoring of the protein powder that left me scraping my glass (yes, I’m weird and like to drink my blended beverages with spoons hahah) when I finished it. Nothing gives you a case of the sads more that finishing something tasty!
This shake helped me recover and cool down after a sweaty 5 mile run and I can’t wait to sip on some more creations after I lift weights tomorrow! I can see myself experimenting with all sorts of protein-packed baked goods and trying out a variation of cookies and cream shakes with it. The possibilities are endless!

I admit, I definitely stalk Santa Barbara’s weather every time I check the forecast for Vancouver. 😉 It seems like it is permanently summer there! There is not much better than coming back from a great run to a ice-cold, delicious smoothie. Looks delicious.

Yum, this shake looks delicious! I’m a tad jealous of your 70 degree weather! Cropped tops in February?? But I guess I might miss wearing my winter boots and coats a little bit 😉

Yum! I am so jealous of your weather. I’m in Boston right now and it’s been a total disaster. Just storm after storm after storm. But I’m still loving my morning smoothie bowls <3
