I went to Smart and Final and bought a shelf stable one quart vanilla flavored soy milk carton for under $2.
At Sprouts, I found several vegan protein powders but the cheapest was $6.99 in the bins! They even had all the nutrients on a label, I just snapped a photo of it!
- So I first made a smoothie with a banana, 1/3 c of the protein powder and added Gatorade as a liquid. I don't recommend that choice!
- Next day I tried the soymilk, 1 Cup (not chilled, not so tasty), 1/3 c soy protein powder, banana, 1 piece of cantaloupe, 1 piece of pineapple, 1 piece of honeydew melon. ((Tolerable)
- Third day soy milk, chilled, soy protein powder, 1 T Five Alive, 1T Fruit flavored Omega Blendz , 2 drops coconut flavoring 1/3 c coconut-pineapple juice from Sprouts. Color was not appetizing... maybe I should have added blueberries.
At Target, I found the neatest 4 pack of nested "food prep" cups with measuring lines. They are made out of silicone and you can squeeze them to pour the ingredients out. The set cost about $5 and I might go back and buy several for xmas presents. I love them!!! It makes measuring small amounts for your smoothie so easy!
