My New Favorite Thing

I just endured another of my friend Andrew’s hurl-inducing Crossfit workouts and the only bright spot (other than the fact that I somehow managed to not pass out during the last set of jumping pull ups) is that I came home and tried a new protein shake recipe.

Behold:

1 11 ounce container of coconut water
1 cup tart cherry juice
1 scoop vanilla (or unflavored) protein powder
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1 banana

Throw it all in a blender, mash the button until it turns the color of a melted flamingo. Drink. Enjoy.  Think of me.

It gets a serious thumbs up for taste but a thumbs down because the first two ingredients are only available at Whole Foods, which means this drink just cost me approximately $83.
