Piña Colada Protein Shake

I whipped up this protein shake for Dathan & I post-workout today, and then ran here to the blog to get it up for you guys.  

Pineapple & coconut is one of my favorite flavor combos out there... especially in the summertime!  But, since fall is about to hit, and "Pumpkin Spice Everything" will rule the world... I figured I'd better hurry!

Give this a try before summer comes to an end.  It's thick, creamy, delicious, & easy!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup frozen pineapple
• handful of ice
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used this grassfed whey from Bio Chem)
• coconut water
• 3-5 drops vanilla liquid stevia (optional, you can find it here)
• shredded coconut (optional, for topping)

Directions:

1. Place each ingredient in a blender or Magic Bullet, in the order listed (just hold the shredded coconut).  Pour in enough coconut water to cover the solid ingredients.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Top with a pinch of shredded coconut, if you're feelin' fancy.
4. Enjoy!
