Notes
When freezing bananas, be sure to either cut them in half or into small pieces before freezing. If not using a high power blender, I recommend making sure to slice the banana thin enough for the power of the blender.
I absolutely love my Vitamix blender for smoothies and it can handle half of a frozen banana like a champ!

Get the most out of your protein shakes
To capitalize on the benefits of protein shakes, I suggest finding a very clean and easily digestible protein powder. Many powders on the market are loaded with additives that are borderline unhealthy, especially during pregnancy.
While I am a very frugal mama, protein powder is not something I suggesting cutting corners with. If you have never experienced protein powder bloat, consider yourself lucky!

How do you think frozen avocado would effect this? I throw avocado in the freezer when I can’t finish a whole one and don’t want to waste it…but I currently have frozen avocado that I don’t even know what to do with!
Freezing avocados is a great idea! I think the frozen avocado would be great in shakes and they might make it even thicker and creamier…exactly how I like them! I may have to try that soon=)
How much collegen do you put in the shake?
Hi Carla, I add two scoops of Vital Protein Collagen Peptides =)
Hi Brittney! I have not personally tried Quest protein powder while nursing however I have known several moms that have used it while breastfeeding and they seemed to love it! If you have any concerns, I would definitely ask your doctor but I personally think most protein powders are safe while breastfeeding.
