Green Protein Smoothie for Spring

3/1/2019

 
This healthy Green Protein smoothie makes the perfect breakfast or post-workout meal. It's packed with fruit and greens, it's dairy-free and downright delicious! Smoothies are the ultimate no fuss, nutrient-dense meal on-the-go, and they take such little time to prepare. All you need is a high speed blender and your imagination! Feel free to experiment with different fruits, vegetables, protein powders, nut butters, seeds and healthy oils - get creative and follow your taste buds! In the meantime, here's one of our favourite Green Protein Smoothie recipes...
Picture

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 frozen banana (ripe / peeled / sliced)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 medium ripe avocado (more avocado = creamier, thicker smoothie)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder (we carry a variety of high quality plant-based and whey based protein powders at the club - Iron Vegan & Progressive brand)
  • 1 large handful greens of choice (spinach, kale, rainbow chard)
  • 3/4 - 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)

ADD-INS optional:
  • 1-2 Tbsp seed of choice (hemp, flax, sesame, sunflower, chia, etc.)
  • 1-2 Tbsp nut butter (almond, cashew, sunflower, peanut, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup sliced frozen (or fresh) cucumber or berries (organic when possible)

Instructions:
  1. To a high-speed blender, add frozen banana, avocado, protein powder of choice, greens, and dairy-free milk. At this time, add any desired add-ins, such as nut butter, seeds, or additional fruits and vegetables (such as berries or cucumbers).
  2. Blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. If smoothie is too thick, add more dairy-free milk to thin. If too thin, add more frozen banana or avocado.
  3. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more banana for sweetness, avocado for creaminess, or greens for vibrant green color. Protein powder can also be used to add more sweetness (depending on brand / flavour).
  4. Divide between serving glasses and enjoy! Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 24 hours or in the freezer up to 2 weeks.
