I start with a carton or Premier vanilla liquid protein drink(has 30 grams of protein!). I add 2 handfulls of UNSWEETENED FROZEN strawberries (or any FROZEN fruit you like) to thr protein and add 3 pkgs. splenda. Blend in my MAGIC Bullet or any blender should do fine. Smoothie is very thick and creamy and sherberty. Premier is available at Sam's and Costco. Hope you like it!
