Today's delicious smoothie is from my Whole Body Plan, and it is SO PERFECT for when you need a nutritional boost before or after you work out. It's a Fruity Protein Smoothie, with a great combination of yogurt (an excellent source of protein and calcium), almond milk, fruits and veggies, almond butter - a healthy fat and protein source - plus honey if you want!  This is perfect for breakfast or lunch, and is definitely a great way to replenish after today's Summer Slimmer Workout - the LA Strength Training Lean, Toned & Totally Fit Workout, which is going to to kick your booty! So this is the PERFECT day to try this smoothie recipe! Check out what is included and how to make it, below!
