Key Lime Pie Whey Protein Smoothie

Adapted from Key Lime Pie Protein Shake

Ingredients
3.5 T. water (or skim milk)
2/3 c. 2% Greek yogurt, plain
2/3 c. frozen pineapple
3.5 T. lime juice (1.75 T. for sweeter)
1.75 t. agave (5.3 t. for sweeter)
1.75 t. vanilla extract
pinch cinnamon
1-2 scoops whey protein powder, enough to add 20g protein

Directions
Blend and enjoy!

DIY Smoothie Pack Directions
Blend everything except the pineapple, water, and protein powder and freeze silicon 1 oz. ice cube trays. 6 cubes + frozen fruit + protein powder in a zipper bag.  Freeze.  Empty the bag into a blender.  Add 1/2 c. water and you have frozen yogurt / soft serve you have to eat with a spoon!  Let the smoothie pack contents thaw before blending if you have an older blender, or want a less thick smoothie.  Adding the protein powder thickens and "bulks" the smoothie and I haven't measured how it changes the volume in my DIY smoothie cubes.  I usually use a banana for an emulsifier, but I don't think it's needed.  I also use the banana to sweeten, so some adjustments to other smoothies might need to be made.

These may seem like odd numbers, but the previous quantities produced 2.5 cups of smoothie, so I've altered it in hopes it will produce only 2 cups.
