Protein Powder Smoothies

Most mornings, I have a protein shake for breakfast. This week I am adding a second protein shake for dinner while a friend and I do the full 30 Days to Healthy Living program. I've collected some recipes to jazz up the shakes!

I usually add 1 scoop of Fiber Boost and 1 packet of Digestion Plus Prebiotic/Probiotic to my morning shake. 
If you are enjoying two shakes a day, only add Fiber or Probiotics to one shake per day.  2 scoops of Arbonne Vanilla or Chocolate protein powder = 1 serving; 20g of vegan protein in each serving!

I haven't tried all of these yet. I'll probably have one regular and one jazzed up shake each day.
