The Best Green Protein Smoothie
Table of Contents
Looking for an easy, portable and versatile breakfast that helps you work towards your weight loss goals, is healthy AND leaves you feeling great?
Look no further – my go-to protein powered green smoothie will be the last breakfast you’ll ever need. You’re welcome!
This green smoothie recipe (which I sometimes make into a bowl) has lots of what you need (protein healthy fats and fiber) and none of what you don’t. (preservatives and added sugar) making it an exceptional meal or snack for optimal health AND weight loss – a win/win!
It makes the perfect healthy breakfast on the go, lunch, post workout snack, or meal anytime you want something healthy and don’t have a lot of time. It is made with paleo and Whole30 compliant ingredients, but isn’t suggested while on the Whole30 round.
I used to make my smoothies with tons of fruit, and wasn’t sure why I felt sleepy and hungry shortly after drinking them. Now I know it’s because they were 50% ++ sugar, and not enough protein and healthy fats. I still add fruit, but a lot less of it and make sure to boost it up with the right protein, fiber and fats.
This is my recent go to green smoothie, and I modify the fruit / veggies from here. Try it out and let me know what you think!
