Abs Diet Recipe Smoothie

This is a new smoothie, with an Abs Diet and Zone Diet compatible recipe. Enjoy…

  • 4 oz Naked brand pomegranate/acai juice
  • 2 oz frozen mangos
  • 2 oz frozen blueberries
  • 2 oz frozen strawberries
  • 3 Tbs almond butter
  • 2 scoops protein powder (I like EAS Advant Edge)
  • 4 oz nonfat milk
  1. Add the juice and milk to the blender first
  2. Then add the fruit, protein powder and almond butter
  3. Blend it up
  4. Drink it up!

Some people are turned off by the almond butter, but I think that it adds a nice subtle butty taste that goes really nice with the juice.
