Fagan Eats Paleo Recipe: Paleo Protein Smoothie

It's a satisfying and delicious Paleo Protein Smoothie

For about the past month or so, I've been at a weight loss plateau.  I have 5 to 7 more pounds I'd love to lose, but I'm also at the place with my body where if that doesn't happen, I'd be okay with that too.  To try to break past the block, I decided to change things up with my diet and exercise.  And so, this Paleo Protein Smoothie became part of that revamp.

I was in a bit of a rut when it came to my breakfasts, eating eggs, spaghetti squash and whatever veggies were in the fridge Every. Single. Morning.  Yep. 

Smoothies are always a delicious morning breakfast treat and a great way to include lots of veggies and fruits in your diet first thing.  So, I sought to re-create a smoothie I often get from a restaurant near where I work from time to time. And it costs $14 when I buy it at work.  Now I can have it at home for a fraction of the price.  Yay!

Anyway, this smoothie is a really delicious and filling way to start your day.  I hope you all enjoy!
