Blueberry Cheesecake Whey Smoothie

Ingredients
1/4 c. water
3/4 c. frozen blueberries
1/2 green pear, cored and peeled
1/8" ginger, finely grated
1 t. lemon juice
few drops lemon extract
1/2 c. 2% plain Greek yogurt
1-2 scoops whey protein powder, enough to add 20g protein

Directions
Blend and enjoy!

DIY Smoothie Pack Directions
Blend everything except the fruit, 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. liquid 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.
