Smoothies are a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables, but they can get mucked up quickly depending on the ingredients you use. Balancing your smoothie with some protein and healthy fat, will lead to a more nutrient dense and satisfying meal or snack.
Sure protein powders may feel easy, but they tend to be highly processed, contain unnecessary ingredients and can be expensive.
