Strawberry shortcake was one of my all time favorite desserts as a kid. My mom made them with sweet biscuits, fresh strawberries and loaded them with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Here I recreated my childhood favorite into a delicious and healthy smoothie. Introducing my Strawberry Shortcake Protein Smoothie. All real food ingredients, full of healthy carbs, fat and fiber to keep you full for hours. Same delicious taste without the blood sugar crash.

The base is frozen riced cauliflower (I promise you can’t taste it) and frozen banana. Add in some almond or coconut milk for creaminess. A few scoops of Nuzest Protein Powder in Wild Strawberry to keep me full for hours. Fresh strawberries and vanilla for that rich strawberry taste. And to make mine extra special, I loaded it with homemade coconut whipped cream (super easy – check out the recipe below) and paired it with my super simple Paleo Shortbread Cookies.

Why Nuzest Protein?

Vegan protein with all 9 essential amino acids
20 grams of protein, 2 grams of carbs, 0 grams of sugar
98% digestibility rating so no bloating or digestive issues
Uses European golden peas which are pesticide, herbicide and GMO free
No added sugar or sugar alcohols
Sweetened with a West African Plant called Katemfe Fruit which is actually digested as a protein
The world’s only alkaline protein with a PH of 7.9
Paleo diet friendly because y use an enzymatic isolation low heat process which effectively rmoves almost off of the phytates, lectins and trypsin inhibitors, leaving a very high protein content (approximately 90%) extremely low allergen protein that will not predispose someone to nutrient malabsorption
Mixes easily
Tastes Great
