How to Make High-Protein Smoothies
Here’s the formula for the perfect Protein Smoothie-
- Something thick (banana, frozen fruit, frozen vegetables, avocado)
- Something liquid (nut milk, coconut water, or filtered water are great)
- Some Protein (nuts, seeds, protein powders will boost your smoothie!)
- Some Extras (spices, herbs, or other flavors to give you a zing!)
Just place all your ingredients into the blender and whizz until everything sounds smooth. Try and do this just before serving as a freshly made smoothie is always the best.
Best Fruits to Use for Smoothies
Bananas – for a thick and creamy base.
Pineapple and mango – for some sweetness and vitamin C, fiber, and potassium.
Berries such as blueberries and raspberries will give your smoothies a boost of plant chemicals called anthocyanins, which help you stay healthy.
Kiwis are good for gut health and hydration.
