St. Patrick’s Day is coming and all we will see and hear about are Shamrock Shakes.

All I’m going to say is that a one of those is a whopping 680 calories.

I know it’s delicious, but maybe just this year you should swap that for a Kiwi & Pear Protein Shake instead.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole Kiwi
• 1/2 chopped pear
• 1 scoop vanilla Live Rite protein powder
• 6 oz skim milk
• 4 crushed ice cubes

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth.

Sometimes all you want in the morning is a refreshing glass of OJ.

Satisfy your cravings with an added boost.

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop vanilla Live Rite protein powder
• 4oz OJ
• 2 oz water
• 1/2 an orange

Directions:

1. Blend all ingredients until consistent (there will be some “pulpy” parts).

2. Enjoy along side your breakfast!

You know they’re good on bagels, but did you know that they’re good for you too? Packed with Vitamin-E, B-Vitamins and antioxidants, this super seed is an anti-inflammatory and can help to lower cholesterol & blood pressure.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ground sesame seeds
• 1/2 a banana
• 1 scoop vanilla Liverite protein powder
• 6 oz almond milk

Directions

1. Start by grinding your sesame seeds.  I used a mortar and pestle, but you can get by with a food processor.
2. Combine all ingredients on a blender and pulse until smooth. Enjoy!
