Strawberry-Banana Protein Shake

I feel like I have been on the go nonstop lately.  Between family being in town, family moving, birthdays and baby showers coming up, it has been a season of busyness around here.  And I do not for see my days lightening up in the near future.  Although, I must say, I like it that way.  I get a little stir crazy if I stay put in any place for too long, but I do have to remind myself to slow down sometimes.  Life slips away if we remain too busy and don't embrace these beautiful moments God has given us.  And time is something you never back.

This shake is a perfect breakfast for those days you have no time to fuss.  Also, a great post workout treat.  It's refreshing, filling, and you can have it made in seconds.  I'd say those are pretty ideal requirements for those days you can't catch a break.   And maybe a small piece of dark chocolate.
